A reader in the Post Oak Springs subdivision sent us the photos and information about a house fire overnight Tuesday that destroyed a residence that had been under renovation.
She said that the fire began around 1 a.m. Tuesday at a home on Rocky Springs Drive, located off Post Oak Tritt Road, and that fire engines “were parked all the way along” the road as they battled the blaze.
“Neighbors kept watch throughout the night. Smoke could be seen coming out this morning at about 7 a.m. Firefighters came out again to smother the embers.”
Lauren Burden, public information officer for Cobb Fire and Emergency Services, told East Cobb News that that the home was under renovation.
She said the “fire was fully involved prior to our arrival and that crews extinguished the fire and there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters.”
“I do not currently know if the house was occupied during this renovation period, but it does not appear so.”
Property records at that address show the home is owned by an Atlanta real estate and property management company.
