Firefighters responded to two structure related fires in the Pollard’s Bend Community, one on Thursday and the other Friday.

According to Leesburg Fire Chief Jeremy Lee, on Thursday morning a fire was reported inside a cabinet shop adjacent to a residence. Chief Lee said that it appears to have started around a fan.

The owner stated he was outside when he noticed black smoke coming from the area around the fan and tried to extinguish it with a bucket of water, but was not successful.

On Friday morning, a passerby saw flames coming from a window at a residence and called 911. The fire was very well developed upon the fire departments arrival.

The owners were not at home and no one was hurt. Cherokee County Fire/Arson Investigator Jordan Kelly was contacted and is expected to conduct a more thorough investigation.

Units from Centre, Sand Rock, Mt.Weisner, Ball Play Bend and the Ball Play #1 Fire Departments all assisted in providing manpower and water. Floyd EMS also responded as precautionary.
