Firefighters responded to a house fire Sunday afternoon a few blocks from Station 4 in East Chattanooga, according to a news release from the Chattanooga Fire Department.
Capt. Wadie Suttles said when they arrived, the one-story, vacant house on the 2300 block of Infantry Road had heavy fire showing from the front.
It took five fire companies about 30 minutes to get the fire under control.
One firefighter sustained a few burns during the firefighting operation and was treated and released from a local hospital.
The dollar loss was estimated at $10,000 and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
