Apartment Building Explosion in Georgia Under Investigation
Firefighters are investigating a blaze at a Marietta, Ga., apartment complex that was reportedly rattled by an explosion August 31.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that firefighters arrived at the Crestmont apartments around 10:20 a.m. Monday.
Marietta city spokeswoman Lindsey Wiles said three people were taken to a hospital with various injuries. None of the wounds were serious.
Witnesses told firefighters that they heard an explosion. WSB-TV reports fire investigators were finally able to enter the burned building late Monday afternoon, more than five hours after the flames erupted.
Cobb County officials shut down a nearby road as firefighters battled the blaze.
