A home in the Woodmore community of Chattanooga was destroyed by fire Wednesday morning. At 6:05 AM on 3/13/24, Chattanooga Fire companies responded to a house in the 4500 block of Midland Pike. Neighbors called 911 to report that the residence was burning and firefighters from Station 13 could see flames from North Moore Road as they headed to the scene. They found heavy fire conditions on arrival with flames through the roof of the structure. Crews were dealing with live wires down in the backyard and partial collapse of the roof as they made entry to attack the fire and conduct searches. No one was found in the vacant structure. Firefighters had the fire under control by 6:48 AM and they continued working to target hot spots throughout the next several hours. Chattanooga Public Works demolished the significantly damaged home in order to fully extinguish the fire. The cause is under investigation. There were no injuries.
