Ten families must find new homes after a Tuesday-night apartment fire.
About 8:50 p.m. Tuesday, six Chattanooga fire companies arrived at the Cherryton Apartments at 3700 Cherryton Drive to find flames “shooting out the windows of a first-floor apartment,” according to a department release.
The fire destroyed the building
Firefighters searched the building after being told three children might be inside, but found no one.
The blaze was controlled within an hour and no major injuries were reported, officials said.
