Elizabethton family loses home in fire | TriCities.com

A house fire in Elizabethton leaves a family homeless.

Elizabethton fire officials tell us that a fire broke out in the garage of the house on Nancy Street early Sunday morning.

More than 5 fire units responded around 4:30 am but the fire had already spread into the house. Officials say the home is a complete loss.

Neighbors tell 11 Connects that both the husband and wife ran their small businesses from their home and fire crews says not much is salvageable from the wife's daycare business that she ran out of the basement.

?Their business- that was probably for Kay their main thing because she had a daycare business and Tim's business is outside but I'm sure it's affected it somehow,? says neighbor Charles Hendrix.

?In the bottom was a daycare,? explains Fire Captain Rusty Barnett. ?It's never a good time for a fire but no one was at home and no kids were around. So we were lucky that no one got hurt.?

Hendrix also says that the husband is a long time school bus driver for Carter County schools.

Luckily, the family was out of town at the time of the fire and no one was injured.

Fire crews will be back out investigating into what sparked the flames.
