A gas explosion destroyed a Dunwoody apartment building.
DUNWOODY, Ga. - Two Atlanta Gas Light workers were injured responding to a gas leak at a Dunwoody apartment complex on Monday.
It happened at an apartment building located on Dunwoody Crossing. DeKalb County firefighters said crews were already on the scene after receiving a call a construction crew hit a gas line. A spark ignited the leaking gas leading to the explosion. We were out there, on-scene with them with charged hose lines ready. And we were able to go into action quickly, said DeKalb County Fire Rescue spokesperson Deon Bentley.
