ATLANTIC CITY — Five people were injured and 76 displaced by a five-alarm fire Thursday morning at an apartment building on South Georgia Avenue, city officials said.
Firefighters responded to the building at 7:50 a.m. and found heavy smoke coming from the third floor and several people injured in the street, Fire Chief Scott Evans said.
“We also had people hanging out of windows on the third and fourth floor,” Evans said. “One individual jumped out of a fourth-floor window, so I’m sure there is some traumatic injuries there.”
The fire spread to two other structures before being placed under control at 1 p.m. It is unclear what caused the blaze as the investigation is in its early stages, Evans said.
Three people were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Evans said, while the remaining two were taken to an unnamed burn center.

Additionally, three firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion, while another suffered an ankle injury, Evans said.
Part of the 24-unit building collapsed onto South Georgia Avenue. Evans said he expects it and the structure next door to be torn down.
The center of Atlantic City was closed during the firefighting operation from Texas to Mississippi avenues between Arctic and Pacific avenues, police said. Later, Kramer said Georgia Avenue would be closed Thursday night and likely into Friday morning.
Fire Road was closed for two hours Wednesday morning following an accident that sent two people to the hospital, Egg Harbor Township police said.
Shydia Black, who lives next door, was in her car when she heard people screaming “help me” and saw some jump from the building to escape the growing fire.
“There was nothing that I could do but pray,” Black said. “When I was watching it unfold, I wish I could’ve been like Spider-Man and climbed up there to save them.”
Black’s home was damaged in the fire, and her children, along with her cousin and dogs, were still inside when the blaze started.
“This was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Black, a mother of four. “I was screaming at the top of my lungs trying to get to my children because there was nothing I could physically do. All of my friends and family members were accounted for. But everyone keeps saying I should be OK with that. I’m not though, because I watched so many people get hurt.”
Samantha Johnson, Black’s cousin, said she woke up and was unaware of what was happening.
“I didn’t hear screaming or anything like that until they started banging on the door,” Johnson said. “When I got up I smelled smoke and then got out of there as fast as I could.”
Volunteers of America and the American Red Cross are assisting the victims of the fire. Of the 76 displaced, 44 were foreign workers on J-1 visas living in a nearby home. Many of them work at Steel Pier and other major employers on the Boardwalk, Evans said.
“We were able to set up our defense operations at the home where the J-1 students were,” Evans said. “We actually extinguished the fire from their building, so that structure has some water and smoke damage.”
The Longport Board of Commissioners is looking to see what it can do about the alleged "rat problem" residents complained about at a recent meeting. Some Bay Haven Drive residents say the rats are coming from the borough's Fire Department and Beach Patrol boathouse on Atlantic Avenue.
Evans said relocating the victims will be challenging because of how busy the resort is during the summer.
“It’s going to be hard to get room rates in Atlantic City, so most of the relocation is going to be happening offshore,” he said.
Multiple fire departments, including Absecon, Bargaintown, Brigantine, Linwood, Longport, Margate, Northfield, Oceanville, Pleasantville, Somers Point and Ventnor, responded to the scene.
Black said although her house was damaged, she is trying to think positively about the future.
“I don’t know where we’re going to go now,” Black said. “I’m just going to hope and pray for better days because I can’t believe something like this can happen. Everything is going to be OK.”
