DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — DeKalb County officials terminated a fifth firefighter on Wednesday for his response to a deadly Dunwoody fire.
Capt. Sell Caldwell was fired after a brief internal investigation, DeKalb Public Safety director William “Wiz” Miller confirmed.
On Jan. 24, Caldwell was among the crew that responded to an early morning call from Ann Bartlett, 74, reporting a fire in her home on Houghton Court. Firefighters left, saying they couldn’t find a blaze. After a second 911 call from neighbors five hours later, firefighters returned to find Bartlett’s house ablaze. Her body was found in the garage.
