Woman rescued from burning DeKalb home

DeKalb County firefighters this morning rescued a woman from a Stone Mountain-area home that caught fire. Fire crews received a report of an entrapment at the home on Stonehaven Way, DeKalb fire Capt. Eric Jackson said. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM

Firefighters tried to enter through the front door, but “there was just far too much flame and smoke conditions, so we went around to the back side,” Jackson said. When they raised a ladder to an upstairs window, “we found the victim, an elderly female, at the base of the window,” he said. Firefighters brought the woman down the ladder, and she was taken to a local hospital, where she was reported to be in stable condition. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM

They arrived at the home shortly after 6:30 a.m. and “encountered heavy flame involvement on approximately 75 percent of the house,” he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM

A second person, a man who lived in the basement of the house, made it out on his own, but was also taken to the hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation. Jackson said the split-level home was extensively damaged. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM
