PAVO --- A Brooks County man was
killed in a Wednesday morning house fire
at the Colquitt County line.
Ronald Miller, Brooks County Coroner,
said Charles Gay, 62, was inside the mobile
home at 14227 Tallokas Road when the fire
started.
The Moultrie Observer's Gene Pate was
delivering newspapers at about 4:30 a. m.
when he spotted the fire.
The sky was lit up, and I said,
"Something's wrong," Pate said.
As he called 911, other people arrived
on the scene.
Pate said he thought he heard screams
coming from inside the home but the fire
was too hot for the witnesses to get close to
the house.
Volunteer fire units from Colquitt,
Brooks and Thomas counties responding
to the fire found the house engulfed in
flames.
"All we could do was put it out," said
Billy Glass, chief of Autreyville Volunteer
Fire Department. "A portion of one wall
was still standing."
