A fire Friday night at a personal shop in the 5600 block of Raintree Trace caused $70,000 of damage to the structure and contents, authorities said.

A cord sparked when it was pulled out of the wall, catching trash on fire, Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle said.

There were no injuries, and the shop was insured, he said.

Although the fire was contained to the shop, the shop was a total loss, Cagle said.
