Old industrial building burns overnight in Rossville
ROSSVILLE, Georgia (WDEF) – Firefighters from several agencies spent the day dousing an old industrial building with water following a fire overnight in Rossville.
The fire was reported around 2 AM at the old Coats American building at Maple and Williams Street, a few blocks from McFarland Avenue.
The building was currently vacant and did not have any power.
Officials estimate that about 75% of the old facility was destroyed.
The roof collapsed, trapping the flames underneath the rubble, which is why firefighters continue to pour water on it.
Investigators have not had a chance to enter the building so far.
No one was hurt in the fire.
