EMS Call Turns Into Fire Response

DSC_1062The residence of Joseph Hammonds at 58 Windsweep Farm Road was extensively damaged by a fire Wednesday afternoon.

Upson EMS and first responders were treating the 86 year old Hammonds for an injury sustained from falling off a tractor when they became aware of the fire.

The Rock Hill Volunteer Fire Department, Yatesville VFD, Thurston VFD and off duty members of the Thomaston Fire Department responded to the fire and kept it from spreading to the entire structure. The fire apparently started in a storage room under the carport where the hot water heater was located.

Hammonds was transported to the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon by EMS as a result of his injury.
