Desastres · Incendio en un edificio de apartamentosUn vecino ayuda a una pareja a salir de un incendio en Stone Mountain; 26 personas quedan desplazadasEscrito 28 de octubre de 2026 a las 3:17 UTCVerTranscripción0:07A neighbor pulled a couple from a burning apartment building.0:09Everyone escaped, and officials reported no injuries, but the fire displaced twenty,0:13six people from ten families.0:15What caused the fire, and when can those families safely return home?0:18The fire heavily damaged a three.0:20Story twelve unit building on Central Drive in Stone Mountain, Georgia.0:23It happened Monday, October twenty-sixth.0:26The shared address is important because the apartment property has two different0:29names attached to it.0:30The property markets itself as Mountain Place Apartments at four thousand seven0:34hundred nineteen Central Drive.0:36A Mountain Oaks property listing gives that identical address.0:39Both names point to the same location, though the history behind them isn't clear.0:43Mountain Oaks and Mountain Place both identify the Central Drive property.0:47The precise address, four thousand seven hundred nineteen Central Drive, connects0:50the two names.0:51The property's own website and the Mountain Oaks listing place them at that same0:54address.0:55Philip Williams noticed the Brown's vehicle while other neighbors were already0:58outside.0:59He'd stepped out of his home around five that afternoon.1:01He realized Ernest Brown and Brown's wife could still be inside, unaware of the1:05danger.1:05Williams said he ran across a walkway bridge and pounded on their door.1:09Brown recalled Williams saying, The fire is here.1:12At first, Brown answered, Okay.1:14Then came the urgent warning again.1:16Brown said he could feel fire behind him when Williams grabbed him.1:19His wife remembered hearing Fire, fire, fire.1:23He dragged me out, Brown's wife said.1:25Williams said fire dropped onto her as he grabbed her, and embers were beginning to1:29catch on her shirt.1:30He said she didn't realize it.1:31He grabbed her and ran, worried that he might hurt her while pulling her away.1:35Williams helped the Browns escape before firefighters arrived.1:38He'd stepped outside around five.1:40Fire units responded around five eighteen.1:42Officials said all occupants had evacuated before crews reached the building.1:45Firefighters found heavy smoke and flames and quickly brought the fire under1:49control.1:50Brown credited Williams with saving them.1:52If he had been a few minutes later, we wouldn't have been out that door.1:55He said.1:55Williams resisted being called a hero.1:58I did what I was supposed to do.1:59He said.2:00The American Red Cross says twenty.2:02Six people from ten families were displaced.2:04The organization is working to help them recover.2:06Fire officials had described help for residents of the twelve affected apartments.2:10Those figures count different things: families and homes.2:13The twelve apartments make up the affected building.2:15The Red Cross's ten families include the twenty-six displaced people.2:19Recovery help is now underway.2:21Following the earlier expectation that assistance would be available, the building2:24sustained heavy damage, including charred walls and doors.2:27The Browns said this was their second fire at the same complex in a matter of2:31months.2:31They were facing another loss while thanking the neighbor who helped them escape.2:35Investigators said they hadn't found a connection between this incident and other2:38fires.2:38Investigators now suspect a cooking incident.2:41DeKalb County Fire Rescue gave that preliminary assessment Tuesday, October2:45twenty-seven, adding that the fire appeared accidental.2:47The investigation is continuing.2:49Fire officials reported no injuries even after the escape the Browns described.2:54The suspected cooking-related cause still needs a final finding.2:57For the displaced families, the next practical question is which homes can safely be3:01occupied again and what housing help they'll receive.3:04The specific recovery benefits and any housing placements haven't been detailed.3:08No inspection date or timetable for residents to return has been announced.Leer el artículoCronología de la historiaHeyDexQuién informó quéPuntos que
