Tim Siniard reports: The Cleveland Fire Department responded to a blaze that took place in one of the city’s oldest structures Tuesday afternoon.
The incident occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. at the two-story Houston Apartments, located at 633 N. Ocoee St.
The fire, which apparently began in a first-floor apartment kitchen, was extinguished within two to three minutes of the CFD’s arrival, according to Chief Ron Harrison.
As of late Wednesday afternoon, the CFD remained at the site to ventilate the building in order to decrease carbon monoxide levels.
There were no injuries reported. The extent of fire and water damage was not yet known.
Constructed in 1854, the former Cleveland Masonic Female Institute served as a school for girls prior to the Civil War. After the war, it was used again as a school before it was converted into apartments.
Investigators with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) responded to the scene of a reported shooting in Ooltewah Tuesday morning.
Late Tuesday morning, a spokesman announced this is now a death investigation.
HCSO reported the shooting a little before 10 a.m. Tuesday on the 9700 block of Imperial Drive in Ooltewah.

Dyer is pleased to announce Cleveland Middle School (CMS) has been awarded $7,000 from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER). Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee Department of Education announced 59 Tennessee schools and districts have received Governor’s Civics Seal grant funding to help implement high-quality civics education programs to prepare students for college, career and civics life.
On March 4, 2019, Gov. Lee announced the Governor’s Civics Seal initiative to recognize Tennessee schools and districts that prioritize teaching our nation’s and state’s history and civics values. These grants are the second round of Governor’s Civics Seal Grants, funded by the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER), to support schools, school districts and charter school management organizations in earning the Tennessee Excellence in Civics Education designation, which will be shown on the online State Report Card by the Governor’s Civics Seal.
This second round of funding tripled the number of grants awarded in the 2019-20 school year, with grantees now representing 26 counties and 32 school districts or charter management organizations across Tennessee.
