A fire Thursday morning destroyed a home on New Bildad Road.
DeKalb County Fire Chief Donny Green said although firefighters were alerted quickly after the blaze was discovered they could not save the structure.
“Thursday morning at approximately 5:30 a.m., DeKalb County Firefighters were called to New Bildad Road, near the DeKalb-Warren County line for a reported structure fire”.
“When fire crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed and walls collapsed. Firefighters quickly contained the fire to prevent spread to other nearby property. The homeowner was not at home and no one was injured. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time,” said Chief Green.
DeKalb County Fire Department’s Belk Station, Short Mountain Station, and tanker truck responded, along with DeKalb County Emergency Medical Services and DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department.
