ATLANTA — Three dozen families were displaced by an apartment fire Saturday morning, according to the Red Cross.
It happened at the Premier Garden Walk Apartments on Garden Walk Blvd. outside Riverdale.
The Red Cross said its disaster action team volunteers were helping the residents who lost homes in a "large fire" that "completely destroyed one 18-unit building and affected an adjacent unit of homes."
"Our volunteers are working virtually and at the scene, and will be meeting one-on-one with approximately three dozen families to assist with emergency needs for temporary lodging, food, clothing and personal care items," the organization said. "Health services, such as the replacement of lost prescriptions and emotional support are also available to those in need. Red Cross caseworkers will continue to follow up with those affected to guide them through recovery next steps and provide referrals to additional resources available in the community."
