Officials are considering a bank's electrical system as a possible cause of an early morning blaze yesterday. <br>
<br>
Fire officials said SunTrust Bank in northwest Atlanta sustained heavy smoke, heat and water damage. No injuries were reported. <br>
<br>
The call came in about 2:30 a.m. Thursday at the bank near Fulton County Airport-Brown Field on Fulton Industrial Road. <br>
<br>
Authorities said there was no sign of forced entry. An undisclosed amount of money in the bank was not damaged. It was in a safe inside a two-ton vault door. <br>

Battalion Chief Bill Brockman said the worst damage was around the vault door near a window. <br>
<br>
``It's pretty heavy damage. I think it burned for a while," Brockman said.
