Breaking news in Northwest.
Atlanta crews are on the scene of a large house fire
on Larchmont Court, Northwest.
That's off Collier Drive,
and that is where we find Good Day's Mark Teichner.
He joins us now with the latest from there.
Mark, good morning.
Good morning.
Yeah, good morning, Buck. I'm going to step out.
You can see a firefighter still working the scene.
In fact, we are told that they are searching,
actively searching inside this home for a woman who has been described
as wheelchair bound and they've not yet been able to identify her,
find her inside the home or outside the home.
So obviously some great concern about her safety.
As you mentioned, we are here in northwest Atlanta where
this fire has broken out just off of
Collier Drive. We are specifically on Larchmont Court.
This is the end of a cul-de-sac. It's all the way down a hill.
And that's where these firefighters are battling this place.
You can't really see the house from our particular location,
but we are told that they are still working
to put out potential hotspots inside that house.
And obviously they are trying to find this woman.
Hopefully they'll be able to locate her safe and sound.
Hopefully maybe she wasn't in the house.
But until they can confirm one way or the other,
they're going to keep searching.
We're hoping to get some information more from the fire
department any minute now and be able to bring more to you.
But for now, that is the latest from here in northwest Atlanta, where
this active search continues for a potential wheelchair-bound woman
who could potentially be trapped inside a burning house fire.
Reporting live, back to you guys in the studio.
Certainly high-stakes situation there.
All right, Mark, thank you.
