No injuries were reported in an overnight fire that destroyed nearly a dozen units of a Marietta apartment complex.
More than 40 residents were displaced by the blaze, which broke out just before midnight Sunday night at the Ridge Pointe complex on Franklin Road.
First responding units found fire coming from a second-floor apartment, according to Marietta police spokesman David Baldwin.
Baldwin said investigators have determined that the fire started in a second-floor bedroom, and that the tenant attempted to extinguish the fire, but was unsuccessful.
The fire destroyed all 10 apartments in the building.
The American Red Cross was on the scene early Monday to assist the 45 displaced residents.
