LINDALE, Ga. --
Exploding ammunition hampered firefighters battling a massive fire that destroyed an historic home in Lindale late Sunday night.
Firefighters arrived at the scene on Booze Mountain Road at the intersection of Old Cedartown Road around 11:30 p.m. to find most of the old house on fire.
Crews had to keep their distance when they heard thousands of rounds of ammunition in the home exploding. The homeowner operated a gun shop and apparently stored some ammunition there
Firefighters were also hampered when a storm moved through the area, forcing them off ladders because of lightning.
The home was vacant at the time of the fire and no one was hurt.
