5 adults, 5 children unharmed as fire destroys Gwinnett home
Five adults and five children were not harmed in the Tuesday afternoon fire that destroyed their Gwinnett County home, officials said.
Firefighters responded to the single-story home on the 2600 block of Lawrenceville's Five Forks Trickum Road around 4:10 p.m., finding flames erupting from the attic. It took about an hour to bring the blaze under control, fire department spokesman Capt. Tommy Rutledge said in a news release.
The home was a total loss, Rutledge said. The Red Cross was contacted to assist the 10 residents.
The cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation, Rutledge said.
