Hall County Fire Rescue responded to the 7600 block of Maple Place in Murrayville Monday afternoon after reports of a residential fire.
First arriving units discovered smoke coming from the attic of a two-story house on a basement. When firefighters entered the house, they were met with heavy smoke and heat. The fire was quickly extinguished, and fans were used to vent the structure of any remaining smoke.
A resident exited the structure prior to firefighters’ arrival and was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville for minor injuries.
The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
