At least eight apartments were affected by a fire early Thursday morning in southwest Atlanta, officials said.
Firefighters said the flames have been extinguished, but several families were displaced.
The fire was reported just after 6 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 3100 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW. It was classified as a two-alarm fire, but crews were able to put it out quickly after a second team arrived.
Officials said that of the eight apartments affected, four were severely damaged. The American Red Cross is assisting displaced residents.
Arson investigators are on the scene to determine the cause of the fire.
Officials have not released the exact number of people displaced.
