Firefighters responded to a reported apartment fire at the Rosemont Peachtree Corners Apartments, located at 3769 Elmside Village Lane, at 9:36 p.m. on Sunday. The 911 caller reported that their apartment was on fire and filling with smoke, stating they were unable to locate the fire alarm pull station. The fire reportedly started on the stove.

Upon arrival, fire crews found an active fire spreading through the multi-family, two/three split apartment building, with flames affecting all three floors. Firefighters deployed four hose lines and an aerial truck to contain the fire. Searches confirmed that all residents had evacuated.

Two apartment units sustained moderate fire damage, while one unit suffered heavy fire damage. The fire also extended into the attic, and seven adjacent units were impacted by heavy smoke and water damage. Fire crews extinguished the main fire within 11 minutes and remained on the scene for overhaul.

Approximately 20 occupants were evacuated by Gwinnett County Police and firefighters. No injuries were reported. The resident stated they had been cooking but briefly stepped away, returning to find the kitchen filled with smoke and flames. Smoke alarms alerted neighbors, allowing them to evacuate before firefighters arrived.
