LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – It’s been a busy day for La Follette Fire Fighters of the “A” Shift. Units remain on the scene of a cabin fire that developed into a brush fire.
“It (the fire) was well underway before anyone noticed it,” said LFD Assistant Fire Chief Keith Fraley. The call came in around 1pm Tuesday. The cabin sat on the bank of Big Creek not far from Goat Rock Bridge at the Claiborne Road-South High Knob Road intersection.
“When our first engine pulled up, there was a man walking away from the area,” said LFD Chief Jimmy Pack. Firefighters battled what was left of the cabin fire along with the fire in the wooded area around the cabin.
There were no injuries. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 03/07/2023-1:30PM)
