SOUTH FULTON, Ga. - Fire crews in South Fulton are actively battling a large structure fire at the Camelot Condominiums in College Park.

According to fire officials, multiple units are responding to a fire at Building 6 of the complex at 5655 Old National Highway. The building is fully engulfed as crews work to contain the flames. The scene remains active.

What they're saying:

Tabitha Rowe says her phone began ringing repeatedly after she learned Building 6 was on fire.

"I got a call. My phone has been ringing off the hook saying building six was on fire," Rowe said.

When she arrived, she said the situation was already beyond control.

"When I arrived, the fire wasn’t you couldn’t see the flames coming out, but obviously it’s it’s getting worse. Can’t be contained because it’s past the firewall," Rowe said. "So that building again is a total loss."

Rowe said the loss is devastating for residents who lived there.

"And for those homeowners that were here and paid and had some have paid their dues for years, they just lost their homes. Even the people that are renting, you know, they lost their home," she said.

She also noted this was not the first major fire at the complex, referencing previous incidents in December and again in March. 

Rowe said her focus now is helping those who have been displaced and pushing for immediate action.

"Anything that we can do to help, anything I can personally do to help, I most certainly will," she said.
