Multiple Chattanooga Fire companies are on the scene of a commercial fire
at Buzzi Unicem USA’s Signal Mountain Plant. At 2:26 PM on 8/4/25, Green
Shift personnel were dispatched to the cement plant at 1201 Suck Creek Road
on reports of a commercial fire. Multiple 911 callers reported seeing smoke
in the area and heavy smoke was visible as firefighters were enroute to the
scene. Firefighting operations were launched to tackle the large burning
tire chip storage area. Aerial master streams are being used to douse the
tire chip piles, along with several hose lines on the ground. The fire is
under control at this time. Our Special Operations Division’s drone pilots
are helping with monitoring remaining hot spots. Our mutual aid partners,
including East Ridge, Signal Mountain and Dallas Bay are assisting with
other CFD calls.
