May 21, 2021 Atlanta: Firefighters continues to pour water on a stubborn warehouse fire throughout Friday morning, May 21, 2021. A massive overnight fire at a northwest Atlanta warehouse at one point grew so intense that it threatened the firefighters battling it from several stories in the air. The crews had to evacuate their ladder trucks when flames got too close, Atlanta fire spokesman Sgt. Cortez Stafford told Channel 2 Action News. The blaze was under control Friday morning, but crews were still dousing hot spots at the storage warehouse in the 400 block of Bishop Street.

During the height of the blaze, firefighting efforts were further hampered by an impatient driver trying to access the Radiant West Midtown apartments, the fire department said on Twitter. Crews were “in the crucial phase” of preventing fire from spreading to the co
