Firefighters in yellow protective gear are actively responding to a house fire in a residential area. Smoke is billowing from the side of a beige house with multiple chimneys, and the exterior shows signs of fire damage. Several fire hoses are laid out on the ground, and the firefighters are working near burnt bushes and debris. The scene is surrounded by green trees and neighboring houses.

A fire tore through the back deck of a two-story townhome on Granby Hill Place in Roswell on April 21, with flames starting to climb the exterior wall by the time firefighters arrived.

What happened: The first crew pulled up in 3 minutes and 34 seconds. They found heavy fire on the deck already pushing toward the outside of the home.

What’s confirmed: No one was inside. The fire has been ruled accidental.

The path forward: With the cause ruled accidental, no criminal investigation is expected. The extent of damage to the home or neighboring units has not been released.

The trucks have emergency lights on top and equipment compartments on the sides. Green trees and residential buildings are visible in the background.
