UPDATE: Electrical problems may have caused massive Lula area poultry house fire

Though the cause of a poultry house fire in the Lula area in Banks County earlier this week that killed about 22,000 birds has not been determined, investigators say an electrical problem has not been ruled out.

The fire occurred just after dark Tuesday night. Responding firefighters found the structure in the 3200 block of Ga. 51 fully involved in flames when they arrived.

They were on the scene until about 11:00 that night.
