White County Firefighters Kept Busy Sunday
News October 24, 2016CLEVELAND, Ga. — Firefighters from Cleveland and White County were kept busy over the weekend. Fire units from Station 2, 5, 6 and the City of Cleveland responded to a residential fire at 1980 Kellum Valley Road in Cleveland at about 6:30 am Sunday.
Apparently the fire started by combustibles that were placed too close to a wood heater. The surrounding wall and ceiling caught fire. The family was at home at the time and was awakened by smoke in the house. The home had no smoke detectors. White County EMS personnel checked the occupants but there were no injuries.
About one hour later firefighters from White Count Station 2 responded in a tanker in a mutual aid situation when a Habersham County chicken house caught fire and provided 3,000 gallons of county water to assist in the fire.
