Mother, child taken to hospital after house fire in Fayetteville

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.
