Reidsville, GA - Tattnall County Fire, Reidsville Fire Department, Rogers State Prison Fire, and Tattnall County EMS responded to a structure fire on Rodeo Drive. Crews arrived to find a single-wide mobile home with added rooms approximately 80% engulfed in flames.
Additional apparatus and a water tanker were requested to support fire suppression efforts. Due to live power lines, crews were forced to hold operations until electricity to the structure could be disconnected. Georgia Power responded and secured the scene, allowing firefighters to continue extinguishment.
While units were en route, a separate tractor-trailer fire was encountered on Highway 121, requiring some personnel to divert and handle the additional incident. The Tattnall County Sheriff’s Office assisted with traffic control.
