Barrow County Emergency Services responded to a fire in the 1300 block of Highway 211 NW and found heavy smoke coming from the eaves of the house and fire on the back of the structure. No one was home, and the house appeared to be empty and undergoing renovation. Interior crews had a difficult time initially finding all of the fire hidden in the small spaces above them. The nearest hydrant was almost a half-mile away, so a water shuttle operation was begun. "This technique uses a fire engine to shuttle water between the hydrant and the engine fighting the fire. Mutual aid was provided by West Jackson Fire Department, which assisted with a water tender (a large water tank mounted to a truck).
