Fire Consumes Chicken House Used for Storage

Wind carried flames from a controlled burn through the grass and into an old chicken house at 4240 Colham Ferry Road around 11:35 a.m. on Monday, said.

The old chicken house, which had been used to store cabinets and other items, had collapsed by the time the first two tanker trucks arrived on the scene and contained the fire within 8 to 12 minutes. Additional tankers wet down the perimeter of fire, he said.

Thirteen firefighters from 5 stations responded, two of which were canceled after the blaze was contained, Thaxton reported.

No one was injured.
