Grass, woods fire chars 12 acres in Dawson Co.

The cause of a Sunday afternoon grass and woods fire that consumed a dozen acres remained a mystery early Monday afternoon.

The fire occurred a few miles southwest of Dawsonville.

In addition to the county fire department, the Georgia Forestry Commission responded and its crews cut a plowed break around the fire.
