Authorities open an investigation this morning as to what caused a massive fire that gutted the landmark Georgia Theatre in Athens. The Friday blaze after 7 that morning destroyed the building in the downtown area, known to many as a major player in the Athens and southeast music scene.
Investigators with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the state fire marshal's office and the local fire department are expected to work the scene Monday. Officials do not suspect foul play, but are not ruling-out arson.
