Knoxville, TN - At 11:05 A.M. on February 5th, units from the Knoxville FD responded to 1505 Cherokee Blvd., for the report of a house possibly on fire. When fire crews arrived they found smoke coming from both attic vents on opposing sides of the one-story brick rancher. One resident was home at the time and told fire officials that neighbors knocked on her door, making her aware of the danger. She immediately called 911 to report it. When firefighters arrived they found the occupant safely outside and began investigating the source of the smoke. Firefighters discovered burning roof trusses above the garage. Access holes were cut in the ceiling of the garage and crews stopped the flames before they reached the living area of the home. Fire investigators were on the scene to determine the cause. No injuries were reported.
