A Soddy-Daisy family arrived home to find their garage on fire Thursday night, resulting in an estimated $50K in damages. At 8pm, the Hamilton County OEM got a call for a house fire located on Thatcher Road in Soddy-Daisy. Sequoyah Volunteer Fire Department and Soddy Daisy Fire Department responded to the scene reporting heavy smoke showing throughout the house and fire in the kitchen. Firefighters quickly put out the fire. The homeowner explained to fire officials that when he opened the garage door he saw heavy smoke pouring out. He immediately ran into the house to find fire behind the stove in the kitchen. He used a fire extinguisher to knock the fire down but was unable to extinguish it due to the heavy smoke in the house. Sequoyah VFD officials reported the fire appears to have been started by the electrical outlet behind the stove.
