A structure fire early Monday on Rubio Street created some tense moments when firefighters arrived on the scene first fearing a child had been trapped inside.
But as firefighters and additional companies called to assist arrived at the fully-involved home and began searching inside, the family was able to account for all members of the household, according to a statement issued late Sunday by the Chattanooga Fire Department.
Firefighters quickly put the fire out but the family lost their belongings and were forced from their home, officials said.
No one was injured and the American Red Cross was notified to support the family. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
