A man sustained second-degree burns on his arms Saturday afternoon during a fire at his home, according to the Chattanooga Fire Department.
Spokesman Bruce Garner said firefighters were called about 5:45 p.m. to the 3200 block of Sixth Avenue and found the home’s back porch ablaze.
Firefighters doused the flames in about five minutes.
The 60-year-old man had burns on both forearms and was taken to Erlanger hospital for treatment.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Garner said.
