Three adults and a child were displaced when a mobile home caught fire in Barnes Mobile Home Park in Hall County.
The fire was reported at 2:25 p.m. on Floyd Road according to Hall County Fire Cpt. Zach Brackett.
"(A)rriving units finding a single wide mobile home with heavy black smoke and flames showing. An aggressive interior attack was utilized to extinguish the blaze quickly," Brackett said in a statement.
The American Red Cross is assisting, and no injuries were reported.
Firefighters were also kept busy Tuesday afternoon by a series of brush fires. The first was reported on Indian Circle, with two nearby homes in the path of the flames.
Brackett said firefighters were able to put it out before it caused any damage to either home.
Elsewhere, Hall County and Gainesville firefighters and the Georgia Forestry Commission battled a five-acre fire on both sides of I-985 at mile marker 23.
That fire was spotted shortly after 2:30 p.m.
Around 3:30 p.m. firefighters were called to a suspected residential fire, which turned out to the be the third brush fire of the afternoon.
No homes were damaged, and firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze on Whiporwill Drive.
Brackett said, due to the windy conditions, burn permits have been suspended for the remainder of the day, and he said anyone who was issued a permit earlier Tuesday should fully extinguish any fires immediately.
