Fire officials in Lawrenceville are looking for the cause of a mysterious grass fire that damaged six homes and other property on Sunday.
It broke out on March 5 in the 100 block of Springbottom Drive SE, according to Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services. The grass fire damaged six homes and a wooden privacy fence on a seventh property. No one was hurt, and families did not have to leave their homes.
According to Gwinnett County Fire Investigators, firefighters were originally called to the scene at 4:26 p.m. for a report of a house fire. But, when they got there, firefighters discovered that the flames were coming from a grass fire that had spread to nearby homes, causing damage to the exterior siding.
