Weather Causes Limited Damage in Gwinnett

The storms that hit the area Saturday made for another busy night for Gwinnett Fire and Rescue personnel.

Gwinnett Fire spokesman Capt. Tommy Rutledge said firefighters were busy, but a majority of the calls were “unfounded or considered good intent calls only.
