Atlanta firefighters are investigating a fire that broke out at Tyler Perry Studios in southwest Atlanta on Monday.

The fire broke out on the roof of the studio on Continental Colony Parkway. News Chopper 2 flew over the roof around 11:30 a.m. as firefighters put out hot spots.

It was the second fire at the studio in recent months. In May, a massive fire severely damaged a four-story sound stage.

Fire officials have not released information on Monday’s blaze, but police dispatchers reported that the roof of a building at the complex was on fire.

The fire was apparently in a three-story, 100 by 200-foot building. Video from the Channel 2 Action News helicopter showed about two dozen firefighters on the roof of the building, but no smoke showing at 11:30 a.m.

In early May, the exterior of a building in the 30-acre complex was heavily damaged be fire. The interior of that building sustained some water damage.

Earlier coverage

The video above is a series of still pictures provided to STATter911.com of the fire inside Tyler Perry Studios on Tuesday evening. Atlanta Fire Rescue sounded four alarms to handle the blaze.

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.

Atlanta fire officials said they received the 911 call about the fire at 8:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Russell Evans lives across the street from TP Studios. Evans said he heard the fire before he saw it.

“I started filming the fire and the explosion. I though the tower where senior citizens live at was on fire. I found out it was Tyler Perry Studio,” said Evans.

Atlanta fire officials initially said multiple buildings were engulfed in flames when they arrived.
