Crews were called to XTC Atlanta just before 6:15 a.m. Friday, Atlanta Fire Rescue spokesman Sgt. Cortez Stafford told AJC.com in an emailed statement.
When they arrived on the scene in the 2100 block of Piedmont Road, they smelled smoke coming from the business. Officials did not clear the scene until after 9 a.m., according to Stafford.
“The fire caused moderate damage to the front of the establishment and smoke damage throughout,” he said.
