Firefighters rescued two occupants of a South Zetterower Avenue home Wednesday, but the older brick building that housed an alteration business and apartment units was a total loss. One man was removed from the burning structure’s second floor by firefighters using a ladder, while the second man crawled down the staircase on his stomach to escape the smoke-filled house. The house, which contained Teresa’s Alterations and apartments, was still smoldering Wednesday evening after Statesboro and Bulloch County firefighters spent the entire day at the scene.
