Georgia Warehouse Goes Up in Flames
Authorities say an Atlanta warehouse was destroyed in a ferocious fire that was fueled by welding materials and tanks that exploded.
Fulton County firefighters fought the blaze, which broke out Tuesday at Tie Down Engineering on Selig Drive in southwest Atlanta. Fox 5 Atlanta reports that the company manufactures equipment such as trailers for boats and roofing equipment.
Flames had burned through the roof by the time firefighters got there, so they poured water into the building from ladder trucks.
There were no reports of any injuries, and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
