(BARROW COUNTY, Ga.) — Barrow County Emergency Services confirmed Amir Rohoman, 22, died in a house fire Thursday morning.

Firefighters arrived at the home on Tanner Bridge Circle just before 8:45 in the morning. They say when they pulled up, the home’s roof was collapsing.

The house was engulfed in flames and a mother was warning rescuers that her son was trapped on the second floor.

“His mother did try to get him out but was unable to,” said Capt. Scott Dankin with Barrow County Emergency Services.

By the time firefighters got to him, it was too late.

“When I did let the mother know that we had found her son, her reaction, of course, was that she was very, very upset,” said Dakin.

“She just kept saying how much she is going to miss him and how much she loved him, and it’s just very painful to see a mother in that kind of pain.”

Family tells Channel 2 Action News that the mother lived in the home with her son and brothers. It was originally her parents’ home.

Neighbors said they considered the mother-son duo family.

“Just keep our community, Tanner Bridge, in your prayers, and we will continue to lift up God and just pray for a better day,” said Robert Griffith.

Family said now they focus on grieving, a funeral over the holidays and, eventually, rebuilding.
