Fire crews were called at around 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 11 to the 21700 block of Peachtree Road in Barnesville, where there was a massive house fire that tore through a residence and spread to vehicles in the driveway.
Firefighters also had to contend with trick conditions, as the home was in an area without hydrants in the area, forcing them to haul in thousands of gallons of water to help battle the blaze.
All occupants of the home were table to escape unharmed, though the home was considered "a total loss," according to a Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson.
Investigators believe that the fire was accidental in nature and started outside. Several vehicles were also destroyed, officials noted.
Three adults and three children were displaced. No injuries were reported.
