GA Firefighters Extinguish 4 alarm blaze at Tyler Perry Studios!

Now I was coming out of the Phillips Arena after having several Martini moments when the Boston Celtics managed to beat the pants off the Atlanta Hawks! I got in my car and in my mental agony of anticipation of sitting in traffic to get out the parking lot, I decided to charge  my very much dead blackberry. Well, as soon as my phone was getting its mojo back I started receiving text messages back to back to back regarding a fire that broke out at Tyler Perry Studios. I was hoping this wasn’t an evil act of a hater or ex employee. It’s really a shame how we as people of color just can’t manage to have nothing without another person of color envying what we have so bad they wish to destroy it. Check out what our friends at the Associate Press had to say about the fire May 1 before 9pm. Atlanta fire officials say they have put out a 4-alarm blaze at Tyler Perry Studios that damaged a building at the complex.

Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Capt. Jolyon Bundrige says there were no reports of injuries from the fire that started before 9 p.m. Tuesday. Officials said in a news release it was extinguished about an hour later. He says the cause of the fire and the amount of damage to the complex was not immediately known.

A spokesman for Tyler Perry did not 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.
