DECATUR, Ga. — A fire erupted early Friday morning from inside a home in Decatur. While it took dozens of firefighters to tame the flames, no injuries were reported.

The DeKalb County Fire Department responded to a house fire on Holy Cross Lane at approximately 2:30 a.m. Friday morning. Both occupants safely exited the home before firefighters arrived, DeKalb County Fire said in a social media post.
