DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — Firefighters responded to a massive blaze at an apartment building in Douglasville on Wednesday afternoon.
Douglas County Fire crews responded to a fire at an apartment building at 8424 Chicago Avenue in Douglasville. That is the address for the Douglasville Proper apartment building, which is less than a mile from downtown Douglasville.
The Red Cross said volunteers went to the scene and assisted seven families for a total of 28 people. The Disaster Action Team provided comfort kits and more to those impacted.
