Firefighters battle blaze along Martin Luther King Drive

This is in the 1900 block of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Drive near an Exxon gas station. Crews were just able to get this under control in the last few minutes.

All lanes on I-20 eastbound were closed Monday night at the exit to State Route 139/Martin Luther King Jr. Drive due to a building fire, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

A large fire broke out at a former business near the Texaco gas station across from Westview Cemetery on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

Fortunately, no one was inside and there have been no reported injuries.

It's not clear what caused the fire. FOX 5 Atlanta sent a crew to the scene to gather more information. The flames were out before 10:15 p.m.
