Fire Causes Extensive Damage to Stone Mountain House

Firefighters were called to a house fire at the 2300 block of Broad Creek Drive in Stone Mountain on Saturday afternoon.

A 911 caller stated the back of the two-story house was on fire and flames were visible.

Fire crews entered the structure to extinguish the fire and had to back out due to heavy fire and smoke conditions, a statement from Gwinnett Firefighters said. Most of the fire was extinguished from outside and crews re-entered the house to put out “hot spots.”

No injuries were reported as residents were not home when the fire started; it caused heavy structural damage throughout the house, the report said, and the family will be displaced. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
