DeKalb Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Jaeson Daniels earlier said the fire is contained to the roof of the four-floor apartment building at 5070 Peachtree Blvd.
But, in an update after 6 p.m., Daniels said the roof experienced a partial collapse both to the intensity of the fire and the water.
No injuries have been reported, and everyone was safely evacuated, he said.
Some apartment units have been damaged from smoke and water.
Daniels said preliminary investigation suggests the fire started in an air conditioning unit on the roof.
Fire crews say there has been no extension of the fire so far, as they are putting water on the roof fire to keep it from spreading.
Those in the area should avoid Peachtree Boulevard at Clairmont Road, as the fire crews work to put out the fire.
