Firefighters located a house fire near that intersection on the\u00a02000 block of Montrose Court in Lawrenceville at 3:10 a.m. Upon arrival, fire crews reported a two-story, single-family dwelling with heavy fire showing on all sides of the structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighters deployed multiple hose lines to combat the flames. After\u00a0gaining control of the fire, crews were able to advance into the structure to complete suppression efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interior crews reported heavy fire damage\u00a0on the back wall and a compromised flooring system on the second story. Completion of a primary and secondary search confirmed that everyone had safely escaped the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family of six adults and four children have been displaced\u00a0by this fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
