Firefighters responded to a residential fire this afternoon at 6019 Hillcrest Drive in the Highway 58 area.

Amy Maxwell, spokeswoman for Hamilton County Emergency Services, said dispatchers received a call of a fire at 12:10 this afternoon. Firefighters found an addition to the home on fire and worked to extinguish the blaze from spreading to the main part of the house.

Because of heavy winds, the Highway 58 Volunteer Fire Department requested aid from Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department.

No one was home at the time of the fire, Maxwell said, and officials have determined the cause to be accidental.

One firefighter sustained a minor knee injury, Maxwell said. The homeowners are being housed with relatives.
