Chattanooga, TN – According to the CFD officials, 2 abandoned structures went up in flames Thursday morning in a wooded area off Youngstown Road. Chattanooga Fire Department’s Green Shift teams were dispatched to the 3700 block of Faith Road around 9:32 a.m. on October 31, 2024, where a small vacant structure had caught fire. Flames quickly spread to an adjacent collapsed single-wide trailer located in the woods.
Firefighters made a swift knockdown of the flames, working to check for any extension of the fire.
To fully extinguish the blaze, Chattanooga Public Works brought a trackhoe to the scene, allowing firefighters to break apart debris and access any remaining hot spots.
The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) assisted by deploying a drone, which helped CFD teams locate any additional hot spots in the wooded area.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No injuries were reported.
