Cocke County home fire A small, frame home on St. Tide Hollow Road in the Bybee community was heavily damaged by fire on Tuesday. Cocke County Firefighter Jordon Self said his department was alerted at 11:12 a.m., and were on the scene for two hours, along with firefighters from the Parrottsville and Long Creek Volunteer Fire Departments. "When we pulled up Deputy Danny Hartsell had tried getting up onto the porch where three dogs were trapped but the heavy smoke drove him back," Self said. But firefighters were able to get onto the porch and rescue the animals. Misty Schoolcraft was identified as the renter of the home however at last report the owner had not been identified. Firefighters believe the fire started at the rear of the residence near the heat and air unit. Flames destroyed about 40 percent of the structure including a portion of the roof before the blaze was controlled. Captain Clayton "Skip" Ellison said the portion of the home which was not destroyed sustained smoke damage.
