Firefighters battle blaze on Goat Neck Road

CLEVELAND, Ga. – White County firefighters responded to a residential fire at 1266 Goat Neck Road Wednesday at approximately 10 p.m.

The first units to arrive at the scene found a 1,200-square foot workshop fully engulfed in flames with fire extending to a pump house, a greenhouse and nearly one acre of grass.

Although there were 15 mph winds, the firefighters, with automatic aid of Cleveland Fire Department, made a quick knockdown of the fires using water and firefighting foam to minimize the damage to the contents of the workshop and for quicker extinguishment.

Firefighters remained on scene until 1 a.m. today with a single fire unit returning around 2:30 a.m. to check for any rekindles.

The home owners were at home at the time of the fire, but no injuries were reported.  The state fire investigator will be on scene today to determine the cause of the fire; however, it is deemed not suspicious at this time.
