A fire this morning left an East Ridge home with extensive damage, but no one was hurt, authorities say.
When firefighters arrived about 8:30 a.m., they found heavy smoke coming from the home, located at 3709 Edwards Terrace, said fire department spokesman Erik Hopkins.
The disabled resident already had safely evacuated the home as firefighters began to attack on the fire, Officer Hopkins said. The fire was contained to three rooms.
East Ridge fire and arson investigators are working to determine the cause and origin of the fire, Mr. Hopkins said.
The American Red Cross also responded to assist the displaced residents.
