Women escape from early morning house fire in Atlanta
ATLANTA - Two women escaped from a house fire in Atlanta early Monday morning.
Officials say the fire started shortly before 3 a.m. at a home on the 600 block of Cedar Avenue.
Crews arrived at the scene to find the one-story home covered in flames.
By the time crews were able to extinguish the blaze, officials say the house was significantly damaged both inside and out.
A mother and her adult daughter were in the home at the time of the fire. They told FOX 5 they both smelled smoke, looked outside, and saw a chair on fire in their carport.
The women were able to get out of the home safely without being injured.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
