Byers Well Drilling Fire

BLAIRSVILLE, Ga – While many were snowed in on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020, Union County Fire Department (UCFD) worked to save Byers Well Drilling, which caught fire that afternoon.

UCFD received the call about the fire around 2:20 p.m. All of Station One responded, along with fire fighters from every station in the county. Six trucks were on the scene and tankers two, three, and four provided water support.

The inside of Byers Well Drilling building received “extensive damage,” but the frame of the structure is still in tact.

Firefighters battled the blaze for three to four hours before the fire was finally extinguished. No one was injured in the shop or while working to stop the fire.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined and UCFD is still looking into it.
