July 7, 2022 Atlanta: Atlanta Firefighters (Left to Right) Bernard Benn, Joshua Bell and Jonathan Oliver of Engine 5 rehab from the heat as Atlanta firefighters had a hot morning battling an apartment blaze in the 2200 block of Campbellton Road in Atlanta on Thursday, July 7, 2022. The call came in at 9 am for the Adams House Apartments where units arrived to heavy smoke conditions according to Atlanta Fire Rescue Captain Taurus Durrah. Flames erupted from the bottom floor to the top floor and then the attic Durrah said. Crews initially had to bring in tank water to get water on the fire because of the 800 foot distance to the hydrant on Campbellton Road. Four units were damaged and 8-families displaced. No one was injured and the fire is under investigation. Durrah said more units are being sent to fire scene to shorten the rotation of fire crews due to the heat. Firefighters are told to hydrate and stay cool a full shift before coming to work to combat the heat. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
