Red Cross volunteers are assisting dozens of apartment dwellers affected by a pair of fires Thursday and early Friday at complexes in Roswell and near Chamblee.
No serious injuries were reported in the late Thursday morning fire at the Kings Bridge apartments in Roswell or the blaze that broke out early Friday at the Chatsworth apartments at North Hill Parkway and North Peachtree Road in DeKalb County, although firefighters had to rescue several people from balconies in the Roswell fire.
Red Cross spokeswoman Sherry Nicholson said the organization assisted 27 people with lodging and food from the Roswell fire.
Nicholson said eight of the 10 units damaged in the DeKalb fire were occupied, but the complex has vacant units that the residents of the damaged units can move into. The Red Cross is helping those residents with bedding, clothing and food, she said.
