GWINNETT, GA — Fire crews in Gwinnett responded to several structure fires over the weekend, including a blaze that badly damaged a home.

The department on Saturday posted several photos to Twitter from the scene of a fire that broke out in a town house and caused moderate damage.

According to the post, the fire began in the water heater/utility closet of a town house located in Windy Hill Point in Lawrenceville.

The fire led to moderate damage in the home, the fire department said. The Red Cross responded to help residents.
