More than 45 firefighters are battling an apartment fire near Atlanta, which has injured about a dozen people.
DeKalb County Fire Rescue Capt. Eric Jackson told reporters shortly before dawn Wednesday that four adults and eight children have been injured. Jackson said their injuries were minor and mostly related to smoke inhalation.
Jackson told WSB-TV that firefighters had to smash through doors to help some out.
Occupants inside were “literally dropping their children down to our firefighters and we were catching them, and that was before we put any water on the fire,” Jackson told reporters.
