Newport and Cocke County firefighters responded to two home fires in Newport Tuesday morning. Newport Battalion Chief Tim Pack said the 2:10 a.m. blaze was in a single-story frame home on Centerview Street. Owned by Tony Helton, the residence was unoccupied and the cause of the blaze is undetermined. Firefighters estimate the loss totals $37,000. Newport firemen were on the scene of the Helton blaze when they were notified of another fire on Old Cave Church Road at 4 a.m. Cocke County firefighters responded to that blaze under a mutual aid agreement until the Newport firefighters could get to the scene.
