One person was rescued from a fire in a home in Jones County Tuesday night.

At 8:45 p.m., Sharon, Shady Grove and Sandersville volunteer fire departments responded to a 911 call reporting a structure fire at 201 Reedy Creek Road with one person reportedly still in the home.

When they arrived, firefighters assisted JCSO deputies who had arrived on the scene and were rescuing the individual from inside the home.

Firefighters worked quickly to contain and extinguish the blaze, which originated in a light in the ceiling of the kitchen.  Thanks to the swift work of the firefighters, the home sustained only moderate damage in the kitchen area and the remainder of the home was spared.

Resident Deborah Pickner stated the three individuals living in the home were in bed at the time of the incident.  The breaker for the kitchen repeatedly tripped.  Then, the family smelled smoke and, later, located the flames and activated 911.

Ameripro EMS transported one individual with minor injuries to the hospital. No other injuries were reported.
