Firefighters were called to a burning house on Macon’s Telfair Steet at about 10:30 a.m. Thanksgiving.
Someone broke into the back of the vacant home, located in the 1400 block of Telfair Street, and set fire to furniture in the living room, said Macon-Bibb County Fire Lt. Ben Gleaton.
No one was injured and the fire was confined to the living room, he said.
