Pempel said smoke had reportedly been on the horizon. Ingle said Cumberland Volunteer Fire Department and Cartersville Volunteer Fire Department were also dispatched.

“The first unit on scene reporter house was fully involved and the brush was on fire, endangering another house,” Pempel said.

“Two fire lines were put on the house and another engine extinguished the brush fire,” Pempel said. “A water shuttle was setup for a water supply, but the house was a total loss on arrival.”

Ingle said the Red Cross has been notified for the homeowners.
