An Investigation is Underway after a Fire Damages an East Knox County Home

An investigation is underway following a house fire in East Knox County.

Rural Metro Fire were called to the 9300 block of Mascot Road yesterday (Sunday) morning and found a large 2 story home with fire coming from the rear and everyone inside and their pets were safely outside.

Crews worked hard to limit the spread of the fire, but the false ceilings and multiple roofs that had been added over the years proved trying. The home suffered significant fire, smoke and water damage.

The Red Cross was called to help the occupants and no injuries were reported.
