After returning to his home from the
University of Tennessee and UNC basketball game Sunday, a man found his
home engulfed in smoke, and he wasn't the only one.
Investigators said the Vols fan's home, in the 200 block of Leonard
Place, erupted in flames around 6:00 p.m. No one was home, according to
the Knoxville Fire Department.
