A home was damaged Sunday night by an electrical fire.
Shortly after 9 p.m., the Chattanooga Fire Department responded to a possible structure fire at a house in the 2900 block of Crescent Circle.
The occupant of the home stated that they could smell smoke and discovered a dark area where the ceiling and wall met. They called 911 and exited the residence.
When crews arrived on scene, they found light smoke coming from the attic. Firefighters found where electrical wires were burning in the attic.
The fire was quickly extinguished and damage to the home was minimal.
No one was injured.
It will be a few days before anyone will be able to stay in the home, while electrical repairs are made.
CPD, HCEMS and EPB assisted on the scene.
