An East Hall County house was destroyed by fire early Wednesday morning. Firefighters were called at 1:07 a.m. to the 5500 block of Candler Creek Road in Gillsville, where a 1,500-square-foot home was fully involved, with much of it already on the ground, Capt. Scott Cagle with Hall County Fire Services said. He said there were no signs anyone was home at the time, and it was later determined the owner was out of town.It took about 45 minutes to knock down the fire and three hours to extinguish all the hot spots.
