A fire in East Chattanooga on Sunday afternoon sent one man to a hospital with serious injuries.
Around 12:30 p.m., fire crews were dispatched to a fire in the 1700 block of North Orchard Knob Avenue. Authorities in a news release described a commercial fire, where crews at the scene found smoke coming from the “eaves of the structure, and flames were venting through one of the windows.”
Crews began to attack the fire, and during a secondary search of the structure, they located a man on the floor covered in debris. Authorities said the building featured a business office and a separate bedroom on the other side.
