White County Fire Services fought a house fire and a brush fire Thursday afternoon.
White County Public Information Officer Bryce Barrett said their units responded at around 3:11 p.m. to the house fire to aid the Cleveland Fire Department.
The home was reportedly twenty percent involved with fire.
Crews entered the home and confirmed no residents were inside.
Units doused the fire within minutes of arriving on the scene.
No injuries were reported, and the Georgia State Fire Marshal’s Office was requested to investigate.
Barrett said units responded to the brush fire in the 300 block of Town Creek Road at 3:13 p.m.
Units again assisted the Cleveland Fire Department to douse a controlled burn by a homeowner that got out of control.
“Upon arrival, Cleveland Fire Department’s Engine 13 was able to contain the fire, allowing White County to reallocate units to the nearby residential structure fire,” Barrett said.
The two fires occurred near each other, but they are not believed to be connected.
