EASTANOLLEE, Ga. — Two weekend fires destroyed a house and a shed in separate incidents in Stephens County.
Early Saturday morning, at approximately 3:20 a.m., the Eastanollee Fire Department, along with the Martin and Big Smith fire departments, responded to reports of a fully involved structure fire.
When crews arrived at the scene, they found the structure heavily involved in flames.
The Eastanollee Fire Department said firefighters quickly deployed an aerial ladder and began attacking the flames. Crews used an engine apparatus to battle the blaze on the ground. Officials say coordination and teamwork among the responding departments helped quickly bring the fire under control.
No injuries were reported.
Homeowner treated at scene
Saturday’s response came just hours after firefighters from the same departments were dispatched to a structure fire in Martin on Friday, March 13.
Units responded to the 800 block of Hurricane Grove Road and found a shed on the property burning. An eyewitness said a vehicle was also involved in the fire.
Emergency services personnel reportedly treated the homeowner on the scene but did not transport them to the hospital.
The causes of the fires have not been released.
