Just drove past. Super smoky, many people are out on their lawns checking out the situation. Counted at least 6 fire/emergency vehicles.

I overheard one of the residents being interviewed – may have even been by a WSB reporter, don’t know. Sounds like source was from the stove – cooking something, and a spark flew up through the fan vent and then from there sparked something else, and… yeah. I’m sure there’s plenty more to the story, of course, that’s just a snippet I overheard. Does sound like everyone is fine, “including the dog,” I heard one of the firefighters say to someone. Plenty of neighborhood gawkers, I was definitely one of them. Lots of people taking pics and video on their phones. Just glad everyone is ok.
