In Macon County, crews spent all morning and much of the afternoon tending to a large house fire on County Road 42.

Several fire crews from surrounding areas including Franklin, Shorter, Reeltown, Cheehaw & Tuskegee were called to the home just before 3:oo am, and worked to contain the fire for several hours.

Firefighters were still extinguishing hot spots well into the afternoon.
