Homicide and arson investigators are looking into a suspicious overnight house fire in northwest Atlanta left two people dead, reports ajc.com
Agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms also remained at the burned out house on Jett Street in the Vine City community early Tuesday afternoon, nearly 12 hours after the home went up in flames.
Five people were inside the home when it caught fire, and a man and woman were unable to escape.
Arriving fire crews found the house fully involved in flames.
“Most of the fire was on the front side of the house, which prevented [firefighters] from going in the front door,” Atlanta fire spokesman Cortez Stafford told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Also, they had a vehicle burning in the driveway and they had a house next door that was starting to light up, too.”
