KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — One firefighter was injured after responding to a house fire in the 100 block of Overton Lane on Christmas Eve, according to Rural Metro Fire.
When crews arrived just before 10 p.m., they found smoke and flames coming from the back and the roof of the house, Rural Metro said.
Crews were able to keep the fire from spreading throughout the home and were able to save a good portion of the homeowners' belongings, including wrapped Christmas presents.
Just after midnight, a spokesperson for the department said one crew member was hurt after "ceiling construction materials" collapsed and pinned him against furniture.
Rural Metro said the firefighter was freed and treated for "what appeared to be minor injuries" and "will be sent home later this morning for rest."
No one was home at the time of the fire.
