Cobb firefighters on Wednesday limited an apartment fire in East Cobb to one unit, and rescued two pets along the way.
One unit was heavily damaged and another sustained water damage at The Hills at East Cobb (1716 Terrell Mill Road), according to a department social media posting Wednesday evening.
Cobb FD said that “12 firefighting apparatus arrived on scene to fight fire, search, provide water, and evacuate residents.”
There were no injuries, and two pets were rescued. A grease fire that started in the kitchen of one of the units threatened up to nine adjacent units and 20 more units in a connecting building, according to Cobb FD.
“Most house fires start in the kitchen. Never leave food unattended and make sure your heating elements are turned off,” the Cobb FD said after the fire had been contained.
