PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. -- Fire investigators said they found a body inside a buing home in Paulding County on Monday evening.

Paulding County Fire Department spokeswoman Mary Ann Phipps said the body of an elderly woman was found as firefighters battled a blaze that spread to another home.

The fire broke out at about 3:15 p.m. at a home on Ivy Trace Lane in the Ivy Trace Subdivision in Dallas.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known. The victim’s identity has not been released. The state fire marshal is investigating.
