Authorities are investigating the cause of a Tuesday morning house fire that forced several Hall County residents from their home.
At approximately 11:15 a.m. on October 10, Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR) responded to the 3200 block of Buffington Farm Road for reports of a residential fire. The first unit on scene discovered a working fire engulfing most of the structure.
Firefighters attacked the blaze from outside and quickly extinguished the flames. Three residents were at home when the fire broke out but safely evacuated before firefighters arrived.
“The structure is a total loss and crews are still on the scene ventilating with fans,” says HCFR Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and is under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office. The Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents.
