A fire broke out early Saturday morning at a home on Saddlehorse Drive, displacing three people and prompting a swift response from Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR).
Emergency units were dispatched to the 6200 block of Saddlehorse Drive around 7:30 a.m. on June 26 after receiving reports of a residential fire. When crews arrived, they found a two-story home with a basement actively burning on the second floor above the garage, said HCFR spokesperson Kimberlie Ledsinger.
Ledsinger said firefighters launched an aggressive interior attack and were able to bring the blaze under control quickly. Crews conducted both primary and secondary searches of the home and confirmed that no one was left inside.
One resident was home at the time but managed to escape before firefighters arrived. The American Red Cross is assisting the three displaced occupants.
The cause of the fire remains unknown and is under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
