The Chattanooga Fire Department responded to the call just before noon in the 3700 block of Dorris St.Â
Â
CFD says the fire appeared to start from a malfunctioning dryer that the resident tried to put it out but couldn’t.
Â
The intersection of Dorris St and E. 38th St were blocked for about an hour for firefighters to use the water supply.Â
Â
All family members and pets were able to escape without any injuries.Â
CFD says the family will be receiving assistance from Red Cross.
Â
The contents of the home have been determined a total loss.Â
