A Good Samaritan helped several people escape an early morning fire Sunday on the Westside, Atlanta Fire Rescue said. The fire department said it happened on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway at a location in the Almond Park neighborhood. The call came in just before 8 a.m. with a report of a fire with "possible entrapment." "Our first units arrived on the scene in less than 4 minutes of the initial call and confirmed heavy fire showing on the backside of the building. The fire was upgraded to a second alarm," the fire department said in a tweet. Atlanta Fire Rescue said several people had been sleeping in a structure attached to the one that caught fire and were alerted to the situation by a good Samaritan. "Several individuals were sleeping in an attached structure and able to exit the dwelling with the assistance of a good Samaritan before AFRD's arrival," the fire department said.
