Units respond to house fire near Flowery Branch

Fire investigators are trying to determine what caused a small single-story house south of Flowery Branch to catch fire on Monday.

Around 1:10 p.m. on March 6, Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR) units responded to a report of a residential fire in the 6300 block of Snelling Mill Road. They arrived to find smoke coming from the back of the house.

Crews managed to prevent the flames from spreading into the attic. They knocked down the fire within 20 minutes of arriving on scene, says HCFR spokesperson Kimberlie Ledsinger.

“All residents were accounted for, and no one was injured on scene,” says Ledsinger.

The cause of the fire is unknown. The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
