Woods Fire Cause Under Investigation

The cause of a woods fire in Toccoa earlier this week remains under investigation.

Crews from multiple fire departments responded to an area off of Prather Bridge Road, near the Falls Park Apartments, for a fire Tuesday evening.

Toccoa Fire Chief Tommy Ayers said that crews from both Toccoa fire stations were on the scene, as were crews from the Shiloh Volunteer Fire Department and the Georgia Forestry Commission.

Ayers said that the fire burned about 1.5 acres of woods.

He said no structures were damaged as a result of the fire, which crews were able to get under control Tuesday night.

Ayers went on to say that nobody was hurt as a result of the blaze.
