Fire rips through iconic Krispy Kreme on Ponce for second time

The Krispy Kreme is the same iconic Atlanta structure that was previously on fire due to arson back in February.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Fire crews responded to a fire at the Krispy Kreme on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Midtown Wednesday evening.

The Krispy Kreme is the same iconic Atlanta doughnut shop that previously caught fire due to an alleged arson back in February. 

“There was damage from the previous fire, damage from us putting out the previous fire, water damage and there hasn’t been any removal of debris from the previous fire so we had to deal with that," Atlanta Fire Rescue spokesperson Cortez Stafford said.

Video shows the smoke shooting through the roof of the building. 

Atlanta Fire said firefighters extinguished the fire and there are no reports of injuries. 

At this time, the cause of the fire is unknown, according to Atlanta Fire Rescue.

"It does look like the fire started in the kitchen area and quickly spread to the back portion of the attic," Stafford said.

11Alive SkyTracker flew over the building where you can see fire crews at the scene. Watch it below.
