KFD Responds to Deadly Housefire

Knoxville Fire Department crews responded to a deadly camper fire on Greenway Drive in North Knoxville this morning.

KFD Assistant Chief Mark Wilbanks told WVLT that the fire happened around 6:19 a.m. When crews arrived, they found heavy flames coming from the camper, which was parked near a home. After the initial company made a quick attack on the fire and was able to extinguish the flames in the camper, firefighters also discovered a body near the door of the unit.
Both the camper and the home were damaged by the fire. At this time, investigators are looking into what caused the fire, but they do not suspect any foul play. The American Red Cross is assisting the family.
