Rain helps dampen Douglasville mill fire

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. -- A suspicious fire that destroyed a former cotton mill in Douglasville was still smoldering Sunday, but authorities said rain helped dampen the blaze.

Douglas County spokesman Wes Tallon says the fire was still burning on Sunday afternoon underneath rubble and debris at the former General Western Cotton Mill, which dates to 1897.

He says firefighters can't launch an investigation into the cause of the fire until conditions are safer. That means they may not be able to inspect the site until Monday at the earliest.

Firefighters received a 911 call shortly after midnight on Saturday and arrived to find the building engulfed in flames. They decided to allow the dilapidated structure to burn itself out.

The mill, which is located at 6398 East Broad Street, was built in 1897.

"It had been abandoned and in derelict condition for many years, with the property surrounding the mill grown up with vegetation," said Wes Tallon, director of communications for Douglas County.

Nothing was stored in the building.

Douglas County 911 received the first call at 12:07 a.m., and crews were on the scene in two minutes.

"They found the structure completely engulfed in fire with flames showing through the roof," Tallon said.
