Early Wednesday, Nov. 15, a fire broke out inside a mobile home in the 3100 block of Truelove Road southeast of Gainesville.
A witness told Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR) personnel that before firefighters arrived, one side of the mobile home “was engulfed in flames.”
“The first arriving unit assessed the scene properly and performed an offensive attack on the fire,” says HCFR spokesperson Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Firefighters conducted two searches while fighting the fire and determined no one was inside the residence. Ledsinger says the flames were extinguished quickly.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
