Knoxville, TN (WOKI) An investigation is underway after a house fire Tuesday in Rocky Hill.

Rural Metro Fire crews responded to the report of a house fire in the 7700 block of Queensbury Drive.

Rural Metro Fire officials say crews found a single-family home on fire with heavy smoke coming from the garage and eaves. They say no one was home when the fire broke out and believe that the home was undergoing a remodel.

Rural Metro says crews made a forced entry through the front door to extinguish the fire, but the home sustained heavy damage.
