If you saw fireworks going off near southwest Atlanta on Thursday, it wasn’t because someone was celebrating the Fourth of July early.
According to Atlanta fire officials, a group of kids set off fireworks inside the Publix on the 3700 block of Carmia Drive, causing a fire inside the building.
The sprinkler system went off and extinguished the fire.
No one was injured, Atlanta fire spokesman Cortez Stafford said, but some did suffer from smoke inhalation.
Stafford said the building was evacuated.
No other details were released.
