VIDEO: Channel 2 Action News expects to learn how and where a fire started that forced families out of their homes Sunday near Woodstock.
Cherokee County Fire Department said the fire alarms went off before 11:00 am Sunday at the Brooke Mill Apartments near Highway 92. “I gathered a couple of things to try to get them out of the apartment. I had all my kids’ school supplies. So, I grabbed those,” said Kevin Hannan. Hannan said he’d just dropped his children off at church when it happened. He said a neighbor ran down the hallway, banging on doors, warning people of the fire.
“I looked out the window, and there was burning debris falling down outside my window,” said Hannan. “Everything went completely dark because of all the smoke and everything. I couldn’t see anything. The entire apartment was black inside.”
