The Knoxville Fire Department continuing their investigation into a fire on Proctor Street involving industrial equipment.
It happened Friday and the initial investigation shows a large piece of industrial equipment used for chopping paper caught fire. The building’s commercial sprinkler system helped to keep the fire from spreading to other equipment and KFD personnel were able to extinguish the fire in about 45 minutes.
A fire is also being investigating by the Knoxville Fire Department at an abandoned home in West Knoxville.
Crews called to the 2500 block of Dayton Street after a call came in Saturday that smoke was coming from the window and found heavy fire and smoke conditions. Crews remained on the scene for hours to cool numerous hotspots throughout the structure.
If you have any information concerning trespassers in that home you are asked to contact the Knoxville Fire and Explosives Investigation Unit at 865-637-1386.
