Fire investigators are still trying to determine what caused a blaze to break out inside a house northwest of Clarkesville early Monday. According to Habersham County Emergency Services, the fire at 409 Lovelace Road caused extensive damage to the roof and chimney.
At 12:17 a.m. on Sept. 23, a 911 caller reported the fire near the Habersham-White County line. Firefighters from both counties and Lee Arrendale State Prison responded to the call. They used tanker trucks to shuttle water from the nearest hydrant on Ben T. Huiet Highway to battle the blaze.
Firefighters knocked out the fire by 1:05 a.m. and began overhaul operations. There were no reports of any injuries.
The American Red Cross was called to assist the three adult residents who lived in the house.
