Ten residents were displaced from their homes Sunday after fire broke out inside a small apartment building in Gainesville.
Hall County Fire Rescue responded to the scene in the 1800 block of Tulip Drive around 8:20 a.m. on September 10. Smoke was showing from the upstairs windows when they arrived.
“The bulk of the fire was contained to one apartment on the second floor. Crews extinguished the flames quickly from the interior using hand lines,” says Hall County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Ledsinger says all of the occupants got out of the building safely before firefighters arrived. There were no reports of any injuries.
The fire department notified the American Red Cross to help the residents displaced from three separate apartments due to damage.
The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
