According to a spokesperson for the city of Johnson City, crews with the Johnson City Fire Department were called to the 100 block of E Unaka Avenue at 8:39 p.m. When firefighters arrived, they found the two-story home “fully involved” with flames.
Within a few hours, the fire was under control, according to the spokesperson.
Crews reported that the house was abandoned. Neighbors told News Channel 11’s crew at the scene on Monday that the home had been vacant for some time.
