Four apartments were affected after a porch fire at an apartment complex in Duluth. On Sunday afternoon, firefighters responded to a report of an apartment fire at the Summit Station at Duluth Apartments located on The Falls Parkway.
According to Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services, it was around 1:19 p.m. when emergency crews found flames coming from a second-floor, screened-in porch on the backside of the building. They were able to put the fire out in about ten minutes of first getting there.
Fire damage was contained to the porch area and slightly extended into the attic space overhead. However, three other apartments were affected by smoke and water damage and all the residents of the four apartments were temporarily displaced. No one was injured.
The initial investigation shows that the fire started on the porch and was an accident.
