CITY | For the second time this summer a fire is believed to have started on a couch as another fraternity house went ablaze Saturday night, fire investigators said.
At about 5:30 p.m., the DeKalb Fire Department responded to a structure fire at the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house, 917 Greenbrier Road. Firefighters entered the building and found heavy heat and smoke before making their way to the source of the fire, a couch on the second floor inside the house’s common room, said DeKalb Fire Chief Bruce Harrison.
