ATLANTA – Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King announced today that two people were
killed in a Walker County fire. The fire occurred at 491 Bicentennial Trail in Rock Spring around 9:43 a.m. on

“The deceased William C. Cason, 91, and Patricia Cason, 90, were home at the time of the fire and passed as a result,” said Commissioner King. “The cause of this tragic event is still under investigation but appears to be accidental in nature.”

Commissioner King’s State Fire Investigations Unit is assisting the Walker County Fire Department with this
investigation. These passing’s mark the 35th and 36th deaths from a Georgia fire in 2021.
