The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of a weekend house fire in Buford.
At 9:40 p.m. Sunday, December 11, Hall County Fire Rescue arrived at the burning two-story structure on the 3600 block of Maple Valley Drive.
“The bulk of the fire was located in the attic and toward the left side of the residence,” says fire department spokesperson Kimberlie Ledsinger. “Firefighters were able to enter the home and attack the fire from the inside.”
Firefighters searched the residence and found no one inside. They used an aerial truck to to help extinguish the flames.
The Red Cross was contacted to assist the family, but the homeowners were able to make other arrangements, says Ledsinger.
This was the second large blaze Hall County firefighters responded to over the weekend. On Saturday, fire destroyed an empty commercial chicken house and camper southeast of Gainesville.
