A White County home under construction on Underwood Farm Road was nearly destroyed in a fire as two people escaped uninjured.
Just after 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, White County fire crews and emergency agencies responded to the call at a residence in the 300 block of Underwood Farm Road in Cleveland, where half of a home “under construction” was engulfed in flames.
Fire crews moved to contain the blaze to prevent the fire from spreading. Much of the home sustained significant fire damage, and the remaining portions of the structure were heavily affected by smoke, according to officials. Two occupants escaped the home without injury.
The Georgia State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire, which is not yet known.
