FedEx Building Evacuated Due To Cobb Fire

AUSTELL, GA — A fire burned on Monday morning at a FedEx facility, prompting an evacuation of the Factory Shoals Road building, Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services said.

The fire ignited around 9:15 a.m. at a "small exterior structure located in close proximity to this building," fire officials said. Heat and smoke from the blaze impacted the larger building, they added.

A video shared by a TikTok user showed flames and clouds of smoke billowing from the Austell factory.

The fire has since been extinguished, and people have been allowed back into the building, fire officials said.

The cause of the fire and possible injuries were unknown.
