3 Adults, 1 Child Dead In South Fulton Blaze

SOUTH FULTON, GA — Two women, a man and a child are dead after a fire Wednesday in the 7200 block of Oswego Trail, South Fulton Fire Lt. Eric Jackson told Patch Thursday evening.

First responders were dispatched around 4:45 a.m. to the two-story, single-family home, which had heavy smoke and flames.

Fire crews were still at the scene Thursday evening determining the cause.

A total of 12 people were in the home at the time of the fire, Jackson said.

Five people are at Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition, two people were driven to unknown locations in their cars and a grandfather remained at the scene, Jackson said.

Sandy Springs first responders had a cadaver dog present at the scene Thursday while Georgia Search and Rescue was called in to help with shoring up the house, Jackson said.

"The house, due to the fire, was rendered unstable; and so, even though we were able to go in yesterday and recover a man and woman, we knew that in our searches to look for the other two (missing people), we were going to need to shore up this house," Jackson said Thursday afternoon.

Jackson confirmed crews have been on the scene since early Wednesday morning in the aftermath of the fire. Though the front portion of the house is still standing, he said the remainder of the home is burned.
