ATLANTA (AP) - Authorities say a 3-month-old girl has been killed and a woman was severely burned in an early morning house fire in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (https://on-ajc.com/2nMze2F ) that firefighters were called to the home around 2 a.m. Thursday.
Atlanta fire Sgt. Cortez Stafford said the home appeared to be vacant, with boarded-up windows and security screens. It was unclear why the woman and the child were inside the structure.
Stafford said heavy fire was pouring out the front door and smoke and fire was billowing from the windows when fire crews arrived.
Fire investigators are working to determine what caused the blaze with the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
