Chattanooga -
A routine kitchen fire inside a Chattanooga
home turned deadly for the man who lived there. The fire started in a home on
East 13th Street, Sunday afternoon. Firefighters responded and quickly put out
the fire. Firefighters say a man was sitting on the porch when they arrived. That
man, who was identified as Fred Wyatt Junior, went into the house and tried to
put out the fire himself. Everyone in the home got out. But firefighters say
Wyatt, who was hooked up to an oxygen tank, looked as though he couldn't
breathe. He collapse and died.
