“Right now we’ve got a report of a person with some smoke inhalation but we’re still not sure if that is related or not, but we do have a crew with them and we have a transport unit in route to their location to see if they’re going to be transported,” Atlanta assistant fire chief Greg Gray said.
Atlanta Fire said the fire was quickly put out and they are investigating what caused it, but it appears to have started in the parking deck and loading dock area outside of State Farm Arena.
