GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Flames tore through a Gainesville home Tuesday afternoon, spreading from a single bedroom into the attic within minutes and leaving the house a total loss.
At approximately 1:45 p.m. on Feb. 17, Hall County Fire Rescue responded to the 1900 block of Garden Drive following reports of a residential fire.
When firefighters arrived, they found one bedroom fully engulfed in flames, said Hall County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Kimberlie Ledsinger. The fire had already spread to the second floor and into the home’s attic.
Firefighters launched an aggressive interior attack and brought the blaze under control within 15 minutes, said Ledsinger.
Despite the quick response, the home was deemed a total loss. Three adults who lived at the residence were displaced. No injuries were immediately reported.
The cause of the fire remains unknown. The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
