The Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons, caught fire on Monday morning. The fire was caused by a power outage.
The fire happened on Monday
On Monday morning, a fire broke out at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The fire was extinguished within minutes, and no one was injured. However, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire started in a small storage room near one of the stadium’s escalators. The smoke from the fire set off the stadium’s sprinkler system, and the fire was quickly contained. However, some water did damage to part of the stadium’s seating area.
The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United FC. It opened in 2017 and cost $1.6 billion to build.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have started in the concession area. No injuries have been reported.
No one was injured in the fire
No one was injured in the fire, which started in a suites area on the south end of the stadium. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but authorities said it doesn’t appear to be suspicious.
The fire was reported at 3:40 p.m. and was quickly extinguished, but not before causing significant damage to the suites area. The suites are located on the club level of the stadium and are used by VIPs and other special guests on game days.
The damage caused by the fire will likely force the 49ers to play their first two home games of the season at another location, though no decision has been made yet on where those games will be played.
The fire was put out quickly
The fire was put out quickly and no one was injured, but the stadium sustained significant damage. The fire started in the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 6, and was quickly contained.
The stadium is currently being repaired
In 2019, the roof of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons, partially collapsed due to a fire that started in a commercial kitchen. The kitchen was located in an outdoor area that was not part of the stadium. No one was injured in the fire.
