Tyler Perry Studios Battles Second Blaze in 4 Months: Is it Safe?

Tyler Perry Studios must be working on yet another hot production because once again, reports USA Today, officials are investigating a blaze at filmmaker Tyler Perry’s Atlanta studios, the second fire in the past four months at the complex.

The fire was reported just before 11 a.m. Monday and there were no reports of injuries. Authorities say the fire was contained to the roof, which had been undergoing repairs at the time of the blaze.

On May 1, more than 100 firefighters battled a blaze that ripped through a simulated streetscape at the studios, sending flames about six stories into the sky.

Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin J. Cochran has said the cause of the May fire would be recorded as undetermined. Cochran said the intensity of the May fire consumed any evidence that would lead to a cause of ignition.

With all of these fires, one can’t help but wonder if it’s safe to work with TP? Are they taking any shorts with fire safety or are these simply two unrelated anomalies?
