Firefighters were busy in southwest Atlanta battling two separate fires on Tuesday evening. An apartment fire at a complex located in the 3100 block of Martin Luther King Jr Drive SW near Boulder Park Drive SW was quickly extinguished. Atlanta Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Greg Bray says everyone got out of the building safely. A dog needed to be rescued from an upstairs unit. It was not immediately known how many people were impacted by the blaze. Firefighters spotted the apartment fire after extinguishing a blaze about a mile west. Around 9 p.m., fire crews responded to an abandoned two-story building in the 2600 block of MLK, near Peyton Place. Assistant Chief Bray says the fire appears to have started in the basement and spread all the way up to the attic. The cause of both fires remains under investigation.
