14th Street fire in NW Cleveland, TN. House went up in a couple of minutes.

Just walking my dog and saw this house catch fire. It literally consumed the house within seconds. I got there before police/fire department. So sad, on Thanksgiving, too. The woman who lived there seemed disillusioned and panicky, people came outside & were tending to her a couple houses up.

@The350s10 Yes, The Chattanoogan of 3-30-10 says:

For over 70 years the portion of Fort Hill Cemetery owned and operated by Joe V. Williams and Louisville Land Company has been in the news for the conditions of the grounds, roadways and burial records.

The judge said the defendant "failed to live up to his statutory obligations and neglected the cemetery and failed to spend the funds necessary to properly maintain the cemetery. He was aware of the lack of records for where bodies were located.

"Fire, which in the abandoned zones takes the functions of allowing the slumlord to cash in on insurance, is employed in the gentrifying zones to remove sub-productive tenants."

... "Gregory was murdered shortly after signing a petition pleading for improved security, which plea was rejected by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency."

"a slumlord degrades his properties. Maintenance is shoddy and the tenants are at hazard..."

from the Banner:

The house was gutted by fire on Thanksgiving Day 2010. It has been a regular topic of discussion among Council members. In October 2011, Williams was given 60 days by the Historic Preservation Commission to start repairs on the house. That deadline came after he was given 30 days in August 2011 to submit a certificate of appropriateness. The following month, in September, he presented insufficient information and was given until October 2011. No work has been done on the house.

Old Yellow Pine houses go up fast almost like a old single wide trailer or mail box as I call them. I feel for the folks who live there its not something you need on thanksgiving.
