The Knoxville Fire Department is investigating a house fire in East Knoxville.

Crews were called to the 3000 block of Linden Avenue yesterday (Sunday) morning for smoke coming from the home.

Upon arrival they found smoke coming from the front of the home and a man was injured in the street in front of the home. Crews found a small fire in the kitchen but had difficulty establishing a water supply because a car was parked in front of the closest fire hydrant so crews had to break out windows in the car to hook up their hose through the car.

Everyone make it out okay but the injured man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two man and a woman lived in the home which suffered significant smoke, water, and fire damage.
