VALDOSTA, Ga. (WTXL) - The Valdosta Fire Department is sending an urgent reminder after determining the cause of the Sustella Avenue Fire this past Saturday to be electrical.

Reggie Mcloud, 42, and David Washington, 57, died in the fire.

Fire Marshal James Clinkscales says people should have their home inspected by a professional versus trying to do it themselves.

If you haven't already done so, you should make sure your smoke dectors are working, as this is your first line of defense to alert you that something isn't right.
