Fire at original Kodak building shuts down part of Ponce de Leon Ave.

ATLANTA — Police have blocked off part of Ponce de Leon Ave. as Atlanta Fire and Rescue battles a fire Thursday morning.

Crews responded to a fire at 300 Ponce de Leon Ave. around 7:53 a.m. The building appears to be the original Kodak building.

Photos were shared of heavy flames in the back of the building. Triple Team Traffic’s midtown tower camera also captured video of heavy smoke in the air.

An Atlanta Fire spokesperson said more information will be sent out later this morning.

Atlanta police confirmed that officers assisted with traffic. The road reopened just before 11:30 a.m. according to Triple Team Traffic.

This isn’t the first fire in the area this summer. Back in June, a fire broke out at the old Atlanta Eagle club, which is next door to the Kodak sign.
