Several more families have been displaced by the second fire in a little over a month at the Azalea Park Apartments.
Just after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, firefighters responded to a report of a fire at the complex in the 1800 block of Fayetteville Drive. Firefighters smelled smoke inside Building T and found the fire inside a wall.
Georgia Power cut the electricity off to the building so the firefighters could safely attack the fire. The fire was contained to the wall and most of the damage inside is smoke-related. Seven families were displaced by this latest fire, and the Red Cross has been called in to assist them.
There are no injuries, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Several people lost their homes at the complex when a fire broke out Dec. 8 in Building M. Although all residents were able to make it out safely, 15 people were displaced.
