A Wednesday news release from the Houston County Sheriff’s Office stated the 124 Amelia Drive fire started in the garage. The home was destroyed. No one was injured. Another small fire that was discovered at 114 Amelia Drive, which was vacant and under construction, was intentionally set, the release stated.
