Butts County fire officials on Monday were investigating the cause of a fire at a vacant Flovilla home.
Firefighters were called the home, in the 100 block of Randall Avenue, just after 6 p.m. Flovilla Fire Chief Shane Thompson said the home was unoccupied, and had no electric or gas service. He said firefighters saw smoke and flames when they arrived.
Thompson said it appeared the home was in the process of being remodeled. A for-sale sign was seen posted in the front yard.
“No one was inside the house, and there was no furniture in the house or anything like that either,” Thompson said. “One room’s contents were on fire and that was it.”
Butts County Fire Marshal Glen Goens said the fire was confined to the living room of the home, which contained trash bags and construction debris. He said the fire did not appear to be accidental.
