Norcross Road Fire Damages Hixson Home

A Hixson family lost their pet in a fire Wednesday night. At 7:09 PM, the Chattanooga Fire Department responded to a fire alarm at a residence in the 4600 block of Norcross Road and it was upgraded to a residential fire response. Firefighters made a quick interior attack on the bedroom blaze and got the fire under control in approximately 10 minutes. The residents were not home at the time of the fire, but once on the scene, they notified crews that a small dog was inside. The pet was located and brought out of the structure unresponsive. Firefighters performed CPR and provided oxygen, but sadly, the dog could not be revived. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Multiple Green Shift companies responded.
