Tony McCune and Melissa West were still in bed when they awoke to discover their house was on fire around 1:30 p.m. January 4, 2024. The modular home was quickly and fully engulfed by the time that Arnoldsburg Volunteer Fire Department was on scene. The McCune was located just west of Liberty on 33/119. With the structure being across the creek fire crews had to maneuver up and down the steep creek banks and string fire hose across the creek to be able to fight the fire.
Shortly after Arnoldsburg arrived on scene, the Roane County Fire Department arrived to assist as well as the Upper West Fork Volunteer Fire Department responded.
