Fire forced residents from their home southeast of Gainesville on Wednesday.
At approximately 1:15 p.m., Hall County Fire Rescue was dispatched to a residential fire in the 3700 block of Harmony Church Road.
Upon arrival, flames and smoke were visible from the home’s exterior. HCFR personnel attacked the fire from outside the residence and were eventually able to move inside once the flames were contained.
“The bulk of the fire was extinguished quickly, and no residents were found during their primary search,” says HCFR Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Firefighters remained on the scene for several hours. Officials contacted the American Red Cross to assist the two displaced residents.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and is under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
