Cause of Fire that Destroys a Home is Determined by Knoxville Fire Department Officials

The cause of a fire, that injures two, at the Amherst Ridge Mobile Home Park is determined to have been caused by unattended cooking, which is the leading factor contributing to cooking fires and casualties according to the National Fire Protection Association.

The Knoxville Fire Department was called to Saturday’s fire in the 2600 Miss Ellie Drive and found heavy smoke with flames showing from the home’s exterior.

Crews found two people and got them out of the home. They were taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries.

The home is a total loss and the American Red Cross is assisting.
