Firefighters were called out just before 8 a.m. after reports of smoke and flames coming from two homes on Murphy Avenue near Langston Avenue. The area is close to a MARTA train line and between the Oakland City and Capitol View communities.

Neighbors tell Channel 2′s Berndt Petersen the homes that were on fire were both abandoned and that nobody had lived there for some time.

It’s not believed anyone was hurt in either fire.
