Firefighters responded to the home on King George Way just after 7 a.m.
When Channel 2’s Cory James arrived at the home, he said he could see heavy smoke and flames coming from the property.
Officials say the fire may have started in a storage building before spreading to the main house. Building materials stored around the structure helped fuel the flames, according to Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services.
Two nearby homes were exposed to intense heat from the fire. Crews were able to protect those houses, though officials say exterior siding melted on at least one home.
James is speaking with neighbors about what they heard leading up to the fire, LIVE coverage on Channel 2 Action News at Noon.

Investigators are still working to determine what caused the fire.
