Phenomenal work by Chattanooga firefighters as they prevented a residential fire from spreading Tuesday morning. At 9:26 AM on 1/7/25, Red Shift companies were dispatched to a home in the 2700 block of Stone Trace Drive off Tyner Road after neighbors called 911 to report the fire. Ladder 7 arrived and found smoke coming from the garage. Paint cans in the garage were impinged by fire, causing neighbors to report hearing several explosions. Ladder 7’s crew made an aggressive interior offensive attack with Squad 7 and within minutes, they had a quick knockdown on the flames. Members of the CFD successfully protected other adjoining residences with such a quick stop. Two cats and a dog were found by firefighters and the pets were safely removed from the structure. One resident was checked out by EMS on the scene for some singeing on his hair, but he was not transported to the hospital. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Ladder 7, Squad 7, Engine 8, Squad 13, Ladder 13 and Battalion 2 were on the scene, along with CFD Investigations.
