Structure OK After Blaze At Tyler Perry’s Studios

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta fire officials say the structure of a building at filmmaker Tyler Perry’s studio is fine after part of it caught fire, sending flames into the night sky.

Fire Capt. Jolyon Bundrige says there were no reports of injuries from the blaze that started before 9 p.m. Tuesday and burned through the building’s exterior surface.

Bundrige tells WSB Radio firefighters were able to limit the damage because the building is broken up into sections.

He says the cause of the four-alarm blaze and the amount of damage to the complex was not immediately known.

A spokesman for Perry didn’t immediately comment Tuesday evening. The studio’s website says the complex includes a 200,000-square-foot studio, five sound stages and a 400-seat theater in southwest Atlanta.
