60 Displaced Fire in Griffin

Spalding County Manager Dr. Steve Ledbetter confirmed today that sixty residents displaced after a Friday morning apartment complex fire are taking temporary shelter at the City Park gym. 

The Red Cross is there now helping coordinate resources for those impacted.

Under mutual aid, the Spalding County Fire Department assisted the City of Griffin Fire Department in combatting the fire at Morris Street Apartments, located at the corner of Morris Street and East Broadway Street.

“We have an evacuation center established at City Park for those who need a place to get out of the weather and meet with the Red Cross. We are working now to determine if there is need for an overnight shelter,” said Spalding County Fire Chief Glenn Polk.
