Police arrested a man who was accused of shooting at Georgia firefighters at a fire scene over the weekend.

The shooting happened Saturday night as DeKalb County crews responded to a call of smoke coming from the second story of an apartment complex, WAGA-TV reports. As the firefighters arrived, shots were fired from inside the burning apartment, through the front door.

The alleged shooter then fired again at firefighters from the apartment's balcony. He was arrested after jumping from the balcony in his underwear.

No one was hurt in the incident, according to WAGA.
