One injured in house fire
LAWRENCEVILLE - One person suffered smoke inhalation Thursday morning when food left unattended on a kitchen stove ignited a fire in the house at 1941 Sever Road. Firefighters arrived at 10:45 a.m. to find a one-story ranch home with heavy smoke and flames visible from the outside. First responders entered the residence to battle the blaze, but they were driven back by intense heat, according to Thomas Rutledge, spokesman for Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services. Firefighters fought the fire from the exterior until the bulk of the flames were extinguished before re-entering. Two adults and one child were displaced. One adult was taken to an area hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation, Rutledge said.
