Knoxville Fire Department investigators determine the cause of a house fire that claimed a woman’s life and several animals.
Officials say the fire was accidental, caused by a heater that was being used at the time of the fire.
Last week’s fire on Northcrest Circle in Fountain City was contained to the living room and front of that home.
Smoke alarms were in the home but were not working at the time of the fire.
KFD says after a tragic event like this, they can’t stress the importance of working smoke alarms in your homes.
