The Knoxville Fire Department is investigating a house fire in the Fountain City area.
Crews were called to the 3800 block of Garden Drive just after 11 this morning for a bedroom fire which was reported by a man who lives there that returned home after leaving for work to retrieve something he’d left there. Two adults and a dog lived in the home which has suffered significant fire, smoke, and water damage.
No smoke alarms were present in the house and KFD is reminding if you own a home in the city to call 311 and they will come and install a smoke detector in your home.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported and the American Red Cross is assisting the residents.
