An afternoon blaze destroyed a Hall County family’s home.
The fire broke out around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30, at a residence in the 5700 block of Sallee Circle in Oakwood.
Firefighters arrived to find the two-story structure fully involved with flames spreading to a nearby vehicle and outbuilding.
“Hall County Fire Rescue personnel immediately attacked the bulk of the fire before it could spread to the surrounding woods,” says the agency’s public information officer, Kimberlie Ledsinger.
“Both homeowners were able to exit the residence prior to HCFR’s arrival, says Ledsinger.
As of 3:20 p.m., crews were still on the scene working to extinguish any remaining hot spots throughout the affected structures.
The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
