Two people are recovering after they had to jump to safety from their burning DeKalb County apartments overnight Monday. FOX 5 cameras were rolling as medics helped the victims outside the damaged apartments on the 1300 block of Brockett Road. Investigators say the fire started in the back of a unit on the first floor around 1 a.m. and sent flames and smoke to the other two floors of the building. Crews arrived at the scene to find heavy flames shooting out the back of the building. According to DeKalb Fire Capt. Jaeson Daniels, a man and a woman were taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries after they jumped from the building to escape the blaze. The man reportedly may have broken his leg. Resident Freddy Lumba said he also had to take drastic action to get away from the danger.
