Firefighters Had Water Issues; $2M Mansion Is A Total Loss

Firefighters believe the blaze that burned down a $2 million Hall County mansion started in the home’s fireplace. Capt. Bobby Ogletree said the cause is still under investigation, but they’ve been able to track the origin to that part of the 10,00 square-foot home. The Hall County fire department faced a series of water issues when they arrived at the home on Shoreline Drive around 7:40 pm Monday night. A fire department spokesperson said fire engines and tankers had to travel to a fire hydrant 1/2 to 3/4 miles from the driveway of the residence.
