Four-Alarmer: Georgia Apartment Goes Up In Flames, Again

March 4, 2006
This is the second time in four months firefighters worked a fire at the complex

An apartment complex in northeast Atlanta went up in flames again.

The 4-alarm fire at the Bedford Pines Apartments started just before 1 a.m today.

This is the second time in four months firefighters worked a fire at the complex.

A building there went up in flames last November and forced dozens of people from their homes.

This morning's fire was in a different building which was unoccupied.

"It's very possible that vagrants could have been using the building as a makeshift home," said Captain Bryon Kennedy of the Atlanta Fire Department.

Firefighters rescued a homeless man from the building. He was treated for suffered smoke inhalation.
