Heavy fire damage to Seneca home

Seneca Fire Department assesses heavy damage to a home this morning near the 123 By-Pass. But all five occupants at 718 Evelyn Drive are OK, and all fire fighters have been accounted for. Chris Cartee, spokesman for the department, said it’s too early to ascribe a cause for this morning’s 2 o’clock hour fire, but an investigation is underway. By 6 this morning, some fire fighters remained at the scene and the Oconee Chapter of the American Red Cross was on its way to assist those who have been displaced by the fire.
