Fire Sparks at DeKalb Co. Strip Center
Firefighters battled flames at a DeKalb County shopping center early Monday moing, and the blaze forced roads in the area to close to traffic ahead of the moing rush hour.
The fire sparked at a the Lotto and Grocery store located at Glenwood Road and Columbia Drive. Smoke and flames were seen coming from the business, and fire crews say the blaze was reported around 6 a.m.
Firefighters said they were forced to shut down Glenwood Road due to hose lines from fire trucks that were blocking the roadway. Crews were able to put out the fire, and the road was later reopened.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, and no injuries were reported.
