Investigators Work To Find Cause of Woodstock House Fire

The Woodstock Fire and Rescue Department continues to probe what caused a fire at a home last week in the Brookshire subdivision.

The agency, along with Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services, responded to the fire at 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 28 at a home on Keeneland Avenue. Once crews arrived onto the scene, they found flames and smoke from the attic of the two story home.

Firefighters ”made a rapid interior attack” and prevented the fire from consuming the lower part of the house, Woodstock fire said in a press release. The home suffered “significant damage” to the attic and second floor, but no injuries were reported by the occupants or those who responded to the blaze.

“The fire appears to have been caused by electrical issues in the attic over the upstairs bathroom,” Woodstock fire said. “Additional testing will be required to make a more specific determination.”
