No injuries were reported.
A neighbor from across the street told Channel 2’s Bryan Mims the apartments have been abandoned for awhile and the fire was so large, she feared the flames would damage her house.
“Well, baby, this is an eyesore,” Kym Maddox said. “I’m glad I don’t have a heart problem because I’m fixing to have three heart attacks right now from what I have witnessed all night since.”

Atlanta Fire says the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
