Shortly before 11 AM, January 5th, Coweta County E911 received a call from a passerby stating that they saw smoke and flames in the wooded area behind Home Depot located off east highway 34 in Newnan.
Units with Coweta County Fire Rescue were dispatched to the scene. While responding, dispatch notified CCFR units that the caller stated ” there’d been a homeless male crawling around in the area, they were unsure if he’d started the fire or was attempting to put it out. “
Given this information, CCSO units were also dispatched to the scene.
