Neighbors reported hearing a loud “boom” and ran to the home on 3314 Char Mac Lane to find flames coming from the carport area.
The Chattanooga Fire Department received the call at 8:23 a.m. and responded with four fire companies. Capt. Charles Patterson with Engine 20 was the first fire company on the scene and said when they arrived they found that flames had totally engulfed the left side of the house and had extended through the roof. Additional fire companies were called in to help battle the blaze.
Lt. Anthony Moore said the home and a vehicle in the carport are a total loss. No dollar loss amount is available at this time. The cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation.
The family that lives in the home was notified by neighbors of the fire and is expected to be back in town possibly later today.
