Fire on U.S. 122, Lowndes County, Georgia, 7 August 2012

A house burned down this morning on US 122 east of the Boys Ranch. Multiple Lowndes County Fire and Rescue trucks were there, one from as far away as Shiloh, plus Moody Fire Emergency Services, an SGMC Paramedic Unit, and a Sheriff's deputy directing traffic. The location was 5522 E Highway 122.

The SGMC unit appeared to have nothing to do,

which is good. The family were standing beside the road and appeared unharmed. I offered them assistance; I hope everyone else will, as well.

I asked Lowndes County Fire Chief Richard Guyton whether they knew what started it. He said not yet; they would investigate that after they put the fire out.
