SAUTEE, Ga. — One person was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital early Wednesday after a mobile home fire in the Sautee area, according to Bryce Barrett from the White County Office of Public Safety.
White County 911 Communications received a report shortly after 3 a.m. of a mobile home and multiple vehicles on fire in the 3000 block of Highway 255 North.
White County Fire Services responded with automatic aid from the Cleveland Fire Department and Helen Fire Department, along with White County EMS and the White County Sheriff’s Office. Initial information indicated all occupants had escaped the residence, but one individual suffered burn injuries.
First-arriving crews found a mobile home and two vehicles fully involved. Due to the severity of the injuries, White County EMS requested AirLife, which transported the patient to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
Firefighters remained on scene until about 6:30 a.m. extinguishing the fire and conducting overhaul operations.
The White County Emergency Management Agency’s Community Emergency Response Team also responded, deploying its REHAB unit to support firefighters during the extended response.
The Georgia State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
