CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Fire officials in Chattanooga say police officers and a passing motorist saved four children who were spotted on the roof of their burning home.
Fire Department spokesman Bruce Garner said the fire broke out around 5 p.m. Tuesday in a two-story house. The oldest person in the home was a 14-year-old boy, who kicked out a window to get his younger siblings and him onto the roof.
Memorial Hospital surgical technician Matt Evans was driving by and saw the children. He ran to the home as three police officers arrived. The youth passed down the other children to the people below and then was helped down.
The children's father was apparently not home when the fire began. The cause is under investigation.
The 14-year-old cut his leg and was treated at a hospital.

May 22, 2013 13:32 GMT
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- Washington County authorities say a man faked a marriage certificate so he could visit a woman held in the Johnson City Detention Facility.
The Johnson City Press (http://bit.ly/14QBr9L ) reports investigators discovered the ruse after the May 14 visit by 32-year-old Robert S. Hicks of Elizabethton. Hicks was arrested Tuesday on a charge of criminal simulation. He was jailed at the Washington County Detention Center in lieu of $10,000 bond, pending a court appearance Wednesday.
