Fire crews battled a blaze in Snellville overnight. An empty house on Laurel Brook Way caught fire late Tuesday evening.

Firefighters said one of the biggest hurdles they faced was a partial collapse of the second floor while they worked.

Luckily, the residents were not home at the time and were reported safe.

They have since been connected with the American Red Cross for any post-fire assistance.

One firefighter was injured during the incident and has been treated and released.

The cause of the fire remains unknown.
