Sanders Drive House Fire Response

A fire caused extensive damage to a Hixson home Sunday morning. At 6:45 AM on 10/8/23 an off-duty Signal Mountain police officer drove by the house in the 4000 block of Sanders Drive and reported the fire. CFD companies found flames through the roof on arrival. Due to there being a car in the driveway and the possibility of a resident still inside the burning structure, command called for a second alarm to bring more crews to the scene. Firefighters made an interior attack and conducted multiple searches. Their efforts were hampered by an extreme amount of contents in the home. Quint 16, Engine 22, Engine 12, Quint 17, Engine 15, Ladder 19, Squad 19, Quint 10, Ladder 1, Squad 1, Battalion 3, Battalion 1 responded, along with CFD Investigations, CPD and HCEMS. Blue and Green Shift personnel were on this call as it happened around shift change. Our mutual aid partners provided coverage at our fire halls. After thorough searches of the structure, no one was found inside. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
