ATLANTA — Authorities say there are no reported injuries despite a major fire in an Atlanta apartment building on Friday afternoon.
Atlanta Fire Rescue tweeted that firefighters were on the scene of a "working fire" at 2001 Sylvan Road in the city's Sylvan Hills neighborhood.
According to Assistant Fire Chief Greg Gray, the call came in as a fire with the possibility of children trapped inside. However, a search of the interior found no one trapped or hurt
Gray said the fire was visible on the second floor and throughout the attic of two apartments when they arrived.
"It was the middle unit that caught fire, it went up and got into the attic and then it went from end to end in the attic," he said. "We were able to get units on top and ended up extinguishing the attic fire."
Gray added that fire investigators are working to determine what caused the blaze in the first place. In all, he said there were about nine people displaced in the fire.
"Working through Red Cross and other agencies to provide assistance to those individuals," he said.
