Atlanta Fire Rescue responded just after 5:30 a.m. to a two-story house fire on Larchmont Circle in the Collier Heights neighborhood. Firefighters had not found a woman reported inside.

Chief Andrew Anderson said a person living behind the home reported that a wheelchair-bound woman was inside. Firefighters had searched multiple times without locating her, Anderson said.

Power lines and the collapse of the second floor complicated firefighting efforts, Anderson said.
