It is with the heaviest hearts that the Chattanooga Fire Department announces the line-of-duty death of the most senior member of our department, Captain George Turley (Engine 16 Blue Shift). Captain Turley, 58, served 31 years in the CFD and to say that he was well-liked and respected by his fellow firefighters is an understatement. He was on duty Saturday (12/14/24) at Station 16 on Lupton Drive (Lupton City) and doing his daily workout in the gym in the apparatus bay when he suffered a medical emergency. Members of his crew found him unresponsive and initiated CPR.
It was a busy Sunday for Chattanooga firefighters. At 12:06 PM on 12/15/24, Green Shift companies were dispatched to the 2200 block of Elmendorf Street for a residential fire in a duplex. On arrival, smoke was coming from the eaves of the multi-family dwelling. The fire was extinguished quickly and contained to one bedroom. Investigators learned that a nine-year-old child was playing with a candle, causing burns to his leg and foot. He was transported to the hospital and is doing ok. The American Red Cross will be assisting the impacted residents.
Car fire spreads into Chattanooga business leaving one person with burns: At 2:24 AM on 12/15/24, the Chattanooga Fire Department was dispatched to a car fire at 830 Eastgate Loop. Upon arrival on scene, Ladder 13’s crew located a fully engulfed car located under the drive-thru awning of the EPB payment building. L13 immediately upgraded the call to a commercial fire as flames were spreading into the structure. A full response was dispatched and arrived on scene to assist with extinguishing the fire.
Chattanooga, Tenn. (December 13, 2024) - We share with a heavy heart and deep sorrow for our entire community having learned of the passing of district 6 Councilwoman, Dr. Carol Berz who died unexpectedly of natural causes Wednesday.
