The Chattanooga Fire Department put out a house fire at 1507 Wheeler Ave. Thursday evening. All occupants safely made it out of the burning house.
The fire apparently began in the basement area of the home and moved through the walls into the attic. The cause of the blaze is undetermined at this time.
Captain Carlos Hampton of Engine 4 was initially told by a citizen that there was possibly a person trapped in the basement apartment area of the home. The crew of Engine 4 quickly conducted a search of the area, but no one was found.
It was later reported that all persons living in the home were out and accounted for.
Estimated damages are $80,000. The Red Cross was called out to assist.
