No Injuries Reported in Residential Fire in Loganville

No injuries were reported in a residential fire Thursday (Sept. 5) in Loganville.

According to Gwinnett County Fire spokesman Lt. Colin Rhoden, firefighters were called out to the 1300 block of Tumblerock Way around 2:54 p.m.

Heavy smoke and fire were seen coming from the back side of the one-story, single-family, ranch-style house on a slab. Crews quickly deployed fire attack hose lines and entered the structure to battle back the blaze. Thorough searches were completed as the fire was contained and extinguished by 3:31 p.m.

Firefighters protected the neighboring home from the fire and secured utilities to the home where the fire started.

The owner of the home recently vacated the house and the new residents hadn’t moved in, so the house was empty of contents and people.

The house sustained heavy fire damage and burned the roof in the back quarter of the house. An arson investigator was called to the scene for cause determination and found a faulty electrical lighting fixture to be the probable cause.

Equipment on the scene include: engine-2, ladder truck-1, battalion chiefs 2, squad 1, rehab 1, air and light 1, medic ambulance 1, arson investigator and PIO.
