It took over 60 firefighters to battle a ferocious blaze in the Chalet Apartments along Inwood Circle in Midtown Atlanta.
According to WSB-TV, "the fire started in unit 5 of the building." They report that, "Fire Battalion Chief Kevin Roberts told (WSB) that an arson investigator will comb through the remains and make an official determination, but that the elderly man in unit 5 was questioned by firefighters."
Apparently the elderly man may have had oxygen tanks in the home.
American Red Cross was on the scene and helping the displaced families, some who have lost everything the day after Thanksgiving.
