A Gainesville man has been charged with arson in connection with a weekend mobile home fire in the 100 block of Odell Street.
Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR) and the Gainesville Fire Department (GFD) responded to the call about 8:00 Saturday night. First arriving units found a single-wide mobile home with 50 percent of the structure in flames.
HCFR NEWS RELEASE:
“Crews began an attack on the bulk of the fire and were able to extinguish
the flames quickly. The primary search was all clear and no fire personnel
were injured on scene.
The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office began the fire investigation that
night. Witness interviews were conducted immediately, and it was noted
that an adult male was seen fleeing the property moments before the fire
was discovered.
Our investigators, along with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office were able to
track down the subject and identify him as Moises Ramirez (26) of
Gainesville. Soon after, an arrest was made for multiple charges, including
Arson in the first degree.”
Records at the Hall County Jail show that Ramirez is also charged with an identification document violation and possession of a controlled substance.
