DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Officials are working to figure out what led to a fire that caused major damage to at least three townhomes in DeKalb County on Thursday afternoon. Crews were called to Shadow Lake Drive where one townhome caught fire, which then spread to the homes on either side of it.

After months of consideration, the DeKalb County Commission has voted to raise water rates 10% every year for the next decade to pay for water and sewage infrastructure.
