No one was hurt in the fires. Crews said they initially responded to a dumpster fire at the Clinton Plaza when two other fires were spotted nearby.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Knoxville Fire Department responded to three different fires early Friday morning around the Clinton Plaza off Clinton Highway.

No one was hurt in the fires. The first happened around 5:23 a.m. Friday at the 5000 block of Clinton Highway. 

Fire crews said they were initially responding to a dumpster fire at a vacant building next to a collision repair center, saying other units noticed a different fire behind BinMayhem in the same parking lot. 

Crews then responded to a third fire at the nearby Inskip Ballfield a short time later.

Investigators said they consider the fires to be suspicious. KFD is asking anyone with information to contact them at (865) 637-1386.
