A fire fully engulfed a home in Register about 10:30 p.m. Friday night.

As firefighters from the Bulloch County Fire Department battled the flames that shot up more than 50 feet in the air from the top of the house's metal roof, the residents could be seen outside. Everyone was able to get out of the home and no serious injuries were reported. A woman at the scene was placed on a stretcher by paramedics as a precautionary measure.

A man who identified himself as a neighbor said at the scene: "“I just seen it shoot up in flames and I ran across the street to make sure everyone was OK.”

Bulloch County Battalion Chief Ben Allen said the house had natural gas, but he wasn't sure if that played any role in the cause of the fire. 

"A fuller investigation will help us determine the cause," he said.

Along with four fire trucks from Bulloch County, an engine with the Statesboro Fire Department also responded to the scene at the 2900 block of Highway 46 in the city limits of Register, and the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office.

Highway 46 remained blocked in Register until approximately 12:30 a.m.
