Deck Collapse Sparks Gas Supply Concerns at DeKalb County Townhome Complex

A deck collapse at a DeKalb County townhome complex has led to gas supply concerns. Crews were called to the scene on July 30, 2026, after a deck collapsed and knocked off a gas meter from one of the homes.

Fire officials shut off natural gas service meters to all units except the collapsed unit, citing safety precautions. No hazardous gas readings have been detected in adjacent buildings, according to atmospheric monitoring.

Crews are waiting for Atlanta Gas Light to secure the gas supply to the affected unit, prioritizing a safe perimeter and keeping civilians away from the area.
