Hall County firefighters battled a blaze early Friday morning that gutted a house in Flowery Branch.
At approximately 4 a.m., firefighters responded to reports of a residential fire in the 6200 block of Saddlehorse Drive. When the first units arrived, they found the single-story residence fully engulfed in flames, said Hall County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Crews launched a defensive attack, using aerial operations to contain the bulk of the flames. Fire officials confirmed no one was inside the home at the time of the fire.
Ledsinger said the home is considered a total loss due to the extensive damage that was done. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
