Firefighters were still checking for hot spots at a downtown Atlanta apartment building Friday after bringing most of a fire under control. Atlanta Fire Rescue said crews responded around 3:51 p.m. to the three-story building at 376 Nelson Street SW, near Castleberry Hill. No injuries had been reported, and fire investigators were called to determine the cause.
Crews encountered heavy smoke and flames on an upper floor. They fought the fire from inside while searching the units, then accessed the roof to ventilate the building and help keep the fire from spreading.
Smoke conditions improved, and firefighters were assessing smoke and water damage on the second floor as they continued checking for hot spots.
