Fire Under Buckhead Train Trestle Extinguished
There was another fire under the same trestle, near Cheshire Bridge Road, about a year ago.
ATLANTA, GA — Firefighters have extinguished a fire that was burning Friday morning under a train trestle in Buckhead.
The fire broke out off of Cheshire Bridge Road and Wellbourne Drive early Friday, although traffic was never interrupted because of the blaze. It was unclear Friday morning what had caused the fire.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that, one year ago, there was a fire under the same train trestle. There were no injuries in that April 14, 2017 fire, which was near Cheshire Bridge Road and Buford Highway, and the AJC reports that inspectors found no structural damage.
