Atlanta firefighters quickly doused a fire in a large air conditioning unit at a Buckhead office building late Thursday morning.
The fire broke out about 11 a.m. in the air conditioning compressor that cools the south tower at the Atlanta Financial Center on Peachtree Road.
Atlanta fire Lt. Kevin Moburg told the AJC that arriving crews found heavy smoke, with a crew of contractors trying to douse the fire.
“It was a large unit and they had a garden hose and a couple of extinguishers going and they had their hands full,” Moburg said.
He said it took his crews about five minutes to put out the fire.
No one was injured.
Moburg said it could take a couple of days to restore air conditioning to the building.
