APARTMENT FIRE--Two families were displaced Tuesday, May 29, 2012 by a predawn blaze at a south DeKalb County apartment complex. The fire broke out before 5 a.m. at the Summerlyn Park complex off Fairington Road. Melvin Thompson told the AJC that he woke up about 4:45 a.m. to an odor that ”smelled like a burning candle in the house. I got up, looked outside and I saw there was a brush fire down on the ground,” Thompson said. The fire worked its way into the walls before firefighters arrived. JOHN SPINK / JSPINK@AJC.COM
