Hall County firefighters were called to a business on Atlanta Highway that burned twice within eight hours, officials say.
Around 11 p.m. Friday, firefighters extinguished a burning shed owned by Graceland Portable Buildings at 3526 Atlanta Highway. At 7:12 a.m. Saturday, they were dispatched to the same location and found the main commercial building fully involved.
“Once (firefighters) were able to flow water from above the structure, and make a defensive attack, the fire was knocked down and brought under control,” says Hall County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Firefighters remained on the scene for several hours Saturday morning. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office shut down several roads in the area as crews worked the scene.
The cause of the fires is unknown at this time. The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
