An early morning fire on Christmas morning destroyed a Hall County home, leaving two adults and a child homeless.
Around 2 a.m. Monday, Dec. 25, Hall County Fire Rescue responded to the 3500 block of Lamplighter Cove Road for reports of a residential fire. Firefighters arrived to find the two-story home fully engulfed in flames.
The family safely exited the home before firefighters arrived. Crews used hand lines and aerial operations to extinguish the flames.
Fire personnel contacted the American Red Cross to assist the displaced family. The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
This is the second family to be burned out of their home over this Christmas holiday weekend.
On Saturday, Dec. 23, one person was airlifted to the burn unit at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta after the single-wide mobile home they were in went up in flames.
