Two people were injured in a Fayetteville house fire the morning after Thanksgiving, officials said.

The blaze occurred around 9 a.m. Friday at a home on Gingerbread Place in the Gingercake Landing subdivision, which is full of single-family homes. The area is just north of Ga. 54 and west of Ga. 85.

Capt. Stephaene Core with Fayetteville fire confirmed that a child and their mother were injured and taken to a hospital. The child was treated for minimal burns and was later released to the family, but the woman remained in the hospital Wednesday with extensive burns, Core said.

Officials said the fire was classified as accidental, though the exact cause has not been determined.
