New Details Revealed In Norcross Apartment Blaze That Displaced 40

NORCROSS, GA — The cause of an apartment fire that led to dozens being displaced Sunday in the 2100 block of Seasons Parkway in Norcross was undetermined, Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services said Monday.

Investigators were not able to access the area where the fire began due to a structural collapse, fire officials said.

They initially said 30 people were displaced, but in an update, fire officials said 40 people were displaced. They were helped by the Gwinnett County Office of Emergency Management, Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Norcross and Fire and Emergency Services.
