Gwinnett County firefighters began 2021 by battling several fires around the county.
Capt. Tommy Rutledge said crews were called to respond to 10 fires between Thursday night and Friday morning. That included two vehicle fires, three dumpster fires, three woods fires, one house fire and one mobile home fire.
The first fire was a vehicle fire reported at 9:38 p.m. Thursday on Park Colony Drive in Norcross. Firefighters discovered a work van that caught fire, which was later reported to have been caused by a fireworks device in the vehicle. The small fire was already out when crews arrived, and a small area of carpeting in the van was damaged by the flames.
