– An area along Western Avenue near Lonsdale has been evacuated after the Knoxville Fire Department responded to a report about a box with possible explosives.
"We are doing this out of an absolute abundance of caution," said Scott Erland, a Knoxville Police Department spokesperson. "We don’t know exactly what we’re dealing with, but we’re operating under the assumption that we are dealing with an explosive."
An Emergency Alert went out to phones in the surrounding Knoxville area around 4:25 p.m. alerting people about the evacuation. If you aren’t inside the evacuation area circled in blue in the picture below in the Lonsdale area surrounding the 2700 block of Western Avenue, you do not need to evacuate.
Erland said he expected the investigation to be a long-term event. He also said the evacuation area was expanded to around a half-mile radius at around 4:15 p.m.
According to KFD, crews initially responded to a hazmat situation along Western Avenue between Texas and Massachusetts Avenues.
