No one was injured in a Wednesday morning fire at a Cobb County obstetrics and gynecology office near Marietta. But investigators were still trying to determine the cause Wednesday afternoon.
"When we arrived, there was smoke all in the third floor," Denell Boyd of the Cobb County fire department told the AJC.
After arriving at the clinic in the Governor's Ridge office complex on Powers Ferry Road shortly after 10 a.m., it took firefighters about 20 minutes to clear the building of smoke, Boyd said.
The building had already been evacuated by the time firefighters arrived and no injuries were reported, she said.
Though firefighters are still investigating, employees told Channel 2 Action News they saw suspicious activity before the fire. Clinic workers said two men went upstairs and left shortly afterward, minutes before the fire was discovered.
The third floor of the building was extensively damaged, and the lower floors were damaged by water, Boyd said.
The fire was the second this week at an OB-GYN office in metro Atlanta. A fire was reported about 4:20 a.m. Sunday at Atlanta Gyn-Ob in the 400 block of Pleasant Hill Road in Gwinnett County.
