The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of a Sunday morning house fire in Gainesville.
Firefighters responded to the 3000 block of Broncho Lane around 8:30 a.m. on June 19. According to Hall County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Christie Grice, the first units to arrive found heavy smoke and fire coming out of the house. Firefighters made a defensive attack and quickly controlled and extinguished the flames.
“The family was home at the time of the fire and reported that they heard an explosion in the garage and the home was quickly engulfed in flames,” says Grice. She says no one was injured in the blaze. Crews remained on the scene for three hours.
The house was a total loss. The Red Cross was requested to assist the four adults and three children displaced by the fire.
