When they arrived, crews found heavy fire showing through the roof and side of the residence.
“Once firefighters were able to enter the residence, they discovered the body of an adult man; he was pronounced dead at the scene,” says Hall County Sheriff’s Public Information Officer BJ Williams.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
