A fire destroyed an eight-unit apartment building in DeKalb County on Saturday night, causing 11 families to be displaced, according to officials.
American Red Cross volunteers responded to the fire at the Parke Towne North Apartments in the 1400 block of North Cliff Valley Way in Brookhaven. Volunteers helped the displaced families, about 40 people, with temporary lodging, food, clothing and personal care items.
DeKalb fire spokesman Capt. Jaeson Daniels said responding firefighters found fire in the center of the structure. The blaze would ultimately consume the entire building, but no injuries were reported.
Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the fire, Daniels said.
More people are expected to be displaced since some of the residents were not home at the time of the fire, officials said.
