Cover Description: The Dekalb County, GA, Fire Rescue Department responded to historic downtown Stone Mountain for a reported single-family dwelling fire. On arrival, units encountered a well-advanced fire in several rooms and the attic. Interior crews experienced moderate heat conditions and zero visibility. Because of the age and balloon-frame construction of the structure, a large amount of fire was deep seated. Quint 24 and Heavy Rescue 24 performed mirrored ventilation cuts to assist with visibility for searches and to limit extension. Thirty firefighters, four engines, two trucks, one heavy rescue, one air unit and two battalion chiefs were on scene. Photo by Billy Heath III
