A fire displaced two people early Saturday morning in Barrow County.

The fire happened around 3:15 a.m. Saturday morning in the 1200 block of Harmony Grove Church Road, according to Lt. Scott Dakin of Barrow County Emergency Services.

“First arriving firefighters found fire showing through the roof of a double wide trailer,” said Dakin. “Crews made an aggressive interior attack on the fire and were able to bring it under control quickly.”

Engines 4 and 5, Ladder 7, Med 5 and Battalion 1 responded. The home was heavily damaged as a result of the fire, Dakin said.

Two adults were displaced as a result of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Fire Investigation Team.

Prayers go out to the family!

Wondering why the article doesn't mention the two young boys that live in this home? Looks like the fire gutted the two boys rooms so I am glad to hear they were not injured.
