The 311 Service Center stands as a fundamental pillar of Chattanooga's
municipal government, serving a critical dual role: first, as the primary
conduit for citizen engagement and service access, and second, as a
powerful administrative engine that drives operational efficiency for city
departments, including Public Works. The system’s success hinges entirely
on the active participation of Chattanooga residents, whose service
requests generate the essential data needed for effective urban management.
The Significance of Citizen Use

The Chattanooga Fire Department worked a two-alarm high rise fire overnight at Mary Walker Towers. At 12:15 AM on 10/11/25, Green Shift companies responded to 2501 Market Street on an automatic fire alarm. Firefighters found smoke on the second floor and fire in one of the apartments. They had the fire out quickly and evacuated all second floor residents as they worked to remove smoke from the building. Smoke and electrical issues also impacted units on the first floor below where the incident occurred.
