Morning Fire Causes Heavy Damage To Vacant Lawrenceville Home

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA - An overnight fire caused heavy damage to a vacant house on Watercrest Circle in unincorporated Lawrenceville.

Firefighters responded at 1:46 a.m. to a neighbor’s 911 call of a house fire, saying they could see flames coming from the home, according to fire officials.

Crews arrived to find heavy smoke and flames showing from the front-left corner and already
through the roof of a two-story, wood-frame house on a slab. Firefighters quickly deployed fire
attack hose lines and made immediate entry to battle the blaze and conduct a primary search.

There was no one found inside the house and no injuries were reported, fire officials said. The blaze caused heavy damage to the structure that was on the market.

The owner said there was a showing of the property earlier in the day on Monday, but
no other activity at the house.

The exact cause of the fire is currently undetermined and is under investigation.
