A late-night fire Saturday in Hall County destroyed an empty commercial chicken house.

Firefighters were dispatched to the scene in the 3600 block of Bob Bryant Road around 9:40 p.m. on December 10.

Upon arrival, crews found the structure to be fully involved, as well as a camper that was nearby. Both the structure and the vehicle are a total loss, says Hall County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger.

Due to the size of the structure, it took firefighters more than an hour to put the fire out. No animals or people were injured in the blaze. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
