In addition, the authorities observed that the fire was more difficult to put out as a result of the dangerously low temperatures, as the water that the firefighters were using immediately began to freeze.
Crews from the Cobb Department of Transportation are currently on their way to the location of the residence in order to put sand across the street.
Currently, the inquiry on what caused the fire is still ongoing.
