CARYVILLE, TN (WLAF) – It was an extra busy weekend for members of the Caryville Fire Department. Firefighters were called to a brush fire in the wee hours of Christmas morning (3:15am) and then to a vehicle fire on I-75 Sunday night.

Around 8:30pm Sunday night is when firefighters with CFD responded to the scene of a van on fire. “It was fully involved when we arrived,” said CFD Chief Eddie Hatmaker.

No one was injured in the mishap which occurred at Mile Marker 140, just south of the Huntsville-Oneida Exit, on the southbound side of I-75.

The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Highway Patrol assisted with traffic. I-75 was down to one lane for a while. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 12/27/2021-6AM-PHOTOS COURTESY OF CFD CHIEF EDDIE HATMAKER)
