Monday morning, October 31, 2022 at 5:55 am Bulloch County 911 dispatched Statesboro Fire Department (SFD) and Bulloch County Fire to a house fire in the 100 block of Stratford street in the city of Statesboro.
When firefighters arrived on the scene they reported fire in the attic of the home. They knocked down the fire quickly, but spent several hours on the scene performing an overhaul of the home. This was to make sure all of the fire was out. They also turned the power off to the home temporarily and waited for Georgia Power technicians to arrive on the scene.
The home appeared to sustain minor damage. There were no reported injuries in the fire. Bulloch County EMS responded to the scene as a precaution. Statesboro Police Department officers responded to the scene as well to assist with traffic control.
The cause of the fire is not known at this time. SFD will conduct a routine cause and origin investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
