“This was the dog’s bed right here. Oh yeah, and the laundry room,” said Karla Almendarez as she showed Channel 2’s Audrey Washington what remained of her home on Tuesday.
“You see nothing. Just lost everything,” Almendarez’s mother explained.
On Friday, five homes burned on Azalea Springs Lane in Tucker. Gwinnett County firefighters said the flames started inside one home and then quickly spread to the others.
No one was hurt, but most of the five homes were left gutted.
