GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Hall County firefighters knocked down a house fire at 6059 Cane Crossing Drive, off Poplar Springs Church Road in South Hall, but not before the heat knocked down one of their own.
“No injuries to civilians, but we did have one fire fighter injured from heat exhaustion. It was about 95 degrees at the time of the fire,” said Fire Marshall Scott Cagle, “He was treated and released from Northeast Georgia Medical Center and did return back to work that evening.”
Cagle said that firefighters had the fire under control about 45 minutes after they responded to the 4 p.m. call.
