HALL COUNTY, Ga. — Firefighters battled a residential blaze Tuesday afternoon that damaged a two-story home in Clermont, officials said.
At about 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 30, crews with Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR) were dispatched to reports of a house fire in the 6700 block of Stringer Road. First-arriving units found smoke and flames coming from the structure, said HCFR spokesperson Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Firefighters attacked the fire from both inside and out, quickly knocking down the bulk of the flames. No injuries were reported.
The fire displaced four adults and three children. The American Red Cross was notified to assist the affected residents.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
Earlier Tuesday, one person died in a separate early-morning house fire elsewhere in Hall County. That incident remains under investigation.
