Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A home is uninhabitable but not a total loss following a house fire Monday morning in northwest Knoxville.
It happened just before 9:00 a.m. right off Clifton Road, south of Western Avenue.
Knoxville Fire Department officials say the fire started in the kitchen, mostly stayed in that part of the home, but the heat, water and smoke damaged much of the residence.
