KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Officials looking to question the husband of a woman injured in an East Knoxville fire late Wednesday morning, but they say they have not been able to find him yet. Arson investigators are at the home on Holston Dr. trying to determine what caused it.

Flames had spread through the living room and kitchen by the time firefighters arrived around 10:00 a.m.

When they got there, they found a woman outside the home suffering from mild smoke inhalation and minor burns. She told fire officials that her husband was home at the time of the fire, but he has not been seen since.
