LFD answers house full of smoke call. It was LUB smoke testing.

LAFOLLETTE, TN  (WLAF) – La Follette Utilities (LUB) is conducting leak tests today in the sanitary sewer system by blowing smoke into the main lines in a couple of La Follette neighborhoods.

Units with the La Follette Fire Department were called to a home on Jane Way Lane this morning with a report of smoke in the home.  It was discovered that it was smoke from LUB’s smoke test.
