Galen Winchell of Coweta County admits that he was using the blowtorch to clean them out from under the eaves when he notice smoke coming from the attic. His next move was to call the FD who showed up with three engines. There was a delay while they waited for the power company because the attic had electric lines running all through it.
Once the power was cut, they knocked it down quickly, keeping the fire damage to the attic which was gutted. The rest of the house suffered smoke and water damage, however.
The Newman Times-Herald has the STORY.
