About 30 people are in need of a place to stay after a large fire erupted Friday at a Clarkston-area apartment complex, officials said.
Crews responded to the blaze at the Springdale Glen Apartments off Stone Mountain Freeway about 11:15 a.m., DeKalb fire Capt. Dion Bentley said. They arrived to find the fire in two upstairs units of the three-story building. All residents managed to escape their homes without injuries, he said.

It took firefighters about an hour to get the blaze under control, but the 12-building unit sustained heavy smoke and water damage.
Red Cross volunteers responded to the scene and are assisting the 12 displaced families, agency spokeswoman Sherry Nicholson said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
