Atmore firefighters battled an evening blaze that claimed a residence on Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. on Monday.

Chief Ronald Peebles said firefighters arrived on scene at 65 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. at 8:57 p.m.

“When we arrived, the north side of the house, which had two back windows had flames rolling out of them,” Peebles said. “The boys jumped in there and knocked it down quick.”
