Upon arrival, units found the 2,000-square-foot wooden structure approximately fifty-percent involved. The occupant, who officials described as being in his late fifties, was injured as he escaped the burning home. “Fire units began a defensive attack until more personnel arrived to safely make an interior attack on the residence,” says White County Public Safety Director David Murphy. Some firefighters were already tied up working a woods fire off of Duncan Bridge Road. County Stations 3 and 2, with mutual aid from Cleveland and Helen, responded to the house fire.
