Wednesday’s house fire is being investigated

White County firefighters battle blaze on Ostrich Drive Wednesday.

CLEVELAND, Ga. – White County firefighters, with automatic aid from the City of Cleveland, responded to a house fire at 238 Ostrich Drive off of Duncan Bridge Road early Wednesday morning.

The 4,000-square-foot house was fully involved when the first units arrived. They quickly confirmed that no one was in the residence and began to knock down the fire. Firefighters were on the scene for more than five hours and reported difficulty with the home’s long, narrow driveway and required assistance in getting the trucks out of the mud.

State Fire Investigator Robi Wilkins was called to the scene, and the incident is presently under investigation.

No injuries were reported as a result of the house fire.
