A home in Hixson was damaged by fire Thursday afternoon.

Firefighters from Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department saved the house from burning to the ground.

At 1 p.m., a motorist called 911 reporting the fire at 1828 Crabtree Road. The Dallas Bay VFD responded and arrived on the scene reporting heavy smoke pouring from the eaves and attic vents. The homeowner informed fire personnel that no one else was inside the home.
