VIDEO: Security camera footage captured what appears to be an arson at a daycare center in Rockdale County.
According to Keisha Archer, the owner of Starr Kidz Academy 2, the fire started around 10 p.m. Monday.
Ring camera video from inside and outside the building was able to get footage of a man starting the fire. In one video, he is seen pouring liquid, with flames engulfing the building and climbing up the walls.
Archer told Atlanta News First that the daycare was scheduled to open next week. She said the security camera footage is heartbreaking to watch.
โI just saw the gentleman putting the gasoline down and setting the building on fire,โ Archer said. โAnd Iโm just trying to stay upbeat to keep from going crazy right now.โ
Fire crews were seen leaving the scene around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
No word yet about how much damage the fire caused to the building.
The owner is left trying to figure out their next steps.
