AP:
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fire that ripped through a simulated streetscape at Tyler Perry’s Atlanta studios.
The fire sent flames soaring about six stories high into the night sky. Officials say no one was hurt from the blaze that began shortly before 9 p.m.
An Atlanta fire captain says the fire never reached inside the building because of its concrete masonry behind the facade but there is some water damage.
More than 100 firefighters responded to the four-alarm fire. Perry was at the complex last night and spoke with the city fire chief.
The complex includes a 200,000-square-foot studio, five sound stages and a 400-seat theater in southwest Atlanta.
Pop star Cee Lo performed at a fundraiser for President Obama at the studios in March.

These are suppose to be inside the fire? Looks a bunch of still shots from outside the structure to me.
Irony, since his ‘House of Payne’ focused on a firefighter family from Atlanta.
I watched an episode of House of Payne and it had the worst firefighting scene ever filmed. They had the plan of the house on a table by the front door, telling ladders to lay 2 inch lines. Checking on peoples air in the fire. It actually hurt to watch.
