No Injuries in South Cobb Drive Fire

Apr 04, 2011
Cobb County fire fighters douse flames at a shop and storage area behind Better Baseball at 132 Carruth Drive in Marietta on Monday. A call was received at 12:05 p.m. at the baseball academy off South Cobb Drive and the first unit arrived on scene at 12:13 p.m. Workers had been cutting steel pipe in the area prior to the fire and the cutting process generated sparks which most likely caused the fire. There was a large amount of plastic netting and screens stored in the same area. Cobb County Fire Department responded with four engines, 1 ladder truck, 1 rescue, 1 air truck and 1 battalion Chief vehicle and Marietta Fire Department assisted with one engine. High winds Monday contributed to the spread of the fire that was under control by 1:04 p.m.
