Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King has announced an investigation into a commercial structure fire that occurred on Town Creek Boulevard in Greensboro. The incident, which took place on May 5, 2025, involved a storage facility with over 50 units.

“On May 5, 2025, firefighters were called to the scene of a fire involving a storage facility with over 50 storage units,” stated Commissioner King. “Arson investigators from the State Fire Marshal’s office were later requested to serve as the primary investigators of this case. Upon examination of the scene, there was central damage to one unit where the fire was determined to have started. Approximately eleven other units sustained damage from the heat.”

The fire’s cause has been classified as incendiary, but no suspect has been identified yet. Individuals with information are encouraged to contact the Georgia Arson Control Hotline at 1-800-282-5804. A reward of up to $10,000 is offered for tips leading to an arrest and prosecution in connection with the arson case. Callers can remain anonymous.

The investigation is being conducted in collaboration with partners from both the Greene County Fire Department and the City of Greensboro Fire Department.

The Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire aims to protect Georgia families by ensuring access to essential insurance products and safe buildings through fair regulation that promotes economic opportunities for all Georgians.
