Fannin County EMS Report for April 25 through May 1

Fannin County EMS responded to two fires last week, both of them kitchen fires, with one of kitchen fires resulting in heavy damage to a home.

On Saturday, April 30 the Fire Department responded to a call about a kitchen fire at a house on Weaver Creek Road.  By time units arrived, flames were already licking out from the house.  It took the fire department one and one-half hours to stub out the fire.  Georgia Forestry Service also responded to make sure the fire didn’t move from the house into the adjacent woods.
