At 2:30 a.m., the resident at 8100 Thornewood made the 9-1-1 call reporting a fire at his home.
Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department responded and arrived on the scene within minutes reporting heavy smoke and fire at the rear of the home. The firefighters did an immediate interior attack and searched the home for victims.
Fire officials said the fire spread quickly throughout the attic and the entire roof line. At that time, the firefighters immediately evacuated the home and went to a defensive attack.
Due to the extent of the fire, Dallas Bay VFD requested mutual aid for manpower. Soddy-Daisy Fire Department and Red Bank Fire Department responded to the scene along with Hamilton County EMS for potential injuries.
According to the resident, they were asleep and were awakened to the sound of the smoke alarms. The three adult residents were able to escape the house, but were unable to save their dog, a cat and a bird. The couple does have insurance.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is undetermined and will be under investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
