If I understood everything at the beginning, I think it was an outdoor fire, that got out of control and caught a building on fire behind a residence. I am listening to make sure that is correct.

AJH Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm on the corner on 92 and 120 and just took some pictures of the smoke billowing up. There's been three loud booms - we figured some kind of explosion. Link to post Share on other sites
DALLASGIRL0618 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 OH NO!!! This is not good. The homeowner of the house behind this one just called. Said their house is now also on fire. This is sounding like it is getting way out of control. The second fire is on Cypress Dr. While all of this is going on, there is also another brush fire in a separate location. They are trying to figure out who needs to go where. I believe it is near Brown's Pool's. I live just right behind there and there is alot of smoke. You are correct. They did say near Brown's Pool Link to post Share on other sites

DALLASGIRL0618 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Sounds like they are asking some of the engines to go into the subdivision where the house is on fire, because there are other structures in jeopardy. Firetrucks are not being able to get through. They are going to have to go around a different direction. Link to post Share on other sites
AJH Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's just the smoke over the trees, nothing really to look at. I took them because the kids were fascinated. They asked me to take them. Link to post Share on other sites

drosser Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I was glad someone has posted this. I saw the smoke all the way in Powder Springs. I figured it had to be off 92 because of the location of the smoke. I hope they get it under control soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Riptides Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I just came through Hwy 120 and Hwy 92 intersection about 10 minutes ago and could hardly see. Black smoke was pouring through the trees and coming across 120 to the west of the intersection. Link to post Share on other sites
DALLASGIRL0618 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I am unsure now if the house on Cypress Dr. is actually on fire. They said the homeowner called and said it was on fire, and a neighbor flagged them down and said it was on fire, but now they are saying it is a brush fire, and the structure is in danger of catching fire. I am listening and will update what I hear. Link to post Share on other sites
Riptides Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Do brush fires make black smoke and smell of plastic burning, because that was very distinct. I pretty much figured it was a house or building on fire. Link to post Share on other sites

I pretty much figured it was a house or building on fire. There is DEFINITLEY a building on fire at the original place. It started out as a brush fire that got out of control. Then it spread through to a subdivision. I am not sure if the house is on fire in that neighborhood like it was originally called in, or if it is just the brush fire that is putting the house in danger. Link to post Share on other sites
Riptides Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Okay, I didn't think I was going crazy. My mom lives near there and I just called her and she said there is definitely a smoky haze around her house at the moment but she said it just smells like leaves burning.

DALLASGIRL0618 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 They just reported that the fire is now contained and under control at this time. I still have not heard about the second structure. I do not know if it was actually on fire at any point. I assume it was not. Link to post Share on other sites
DALLASGIRL0618 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 They just showed this on Fox5. They called it a "large house fire" I don't think there was a house on fire though. It was a building on fire. Link to post Share on other sites
hart408 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I would be so upset if one of my neighbors started a brush fire while I was at work and I came home to find my house in danger. I hope nobody was injured during the fire. Link to post Share on other sites
1stimemom Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well now I know why traffic was so light in Hiram at 430 this afternoon. It was like driving on 92 on a Sunday night. There was no one around and it was kinda nice. Link to post Share on other sites
