ATLANTA -

Firefighters in northwest Atlanta battled a huge blaze at an apartment complex on Wednesday.

Authorities say the blaze started around 5:15 a.m., and one building of the abandoned complex on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard was engulfed in flames. Firefighters say the complex has been empty for three years.

Fire crews suspect that the fire may have been started by homeless people staying in the vacant building, but that has not been determined.

There are no reports of injuries.
