Last Night, March 8th at 11PM, the alarm system at Skillets Restaurant in the mall triggered a 911 dispatch for a fire. Upon arrival, a quick assessment by the firefighters found a fire burning inside a wall between a storage area and a bathroom. The crew opened the wall and found the fire had already made its way up into the ceiling. The unconfirmed speculation by first responders is that an electrical short was the primary cause of the fire. The fire was contained to the primary ignition area and extinguished. Inspection of surrounding areas of the mall determined the fire did not spread to other parts of the building. The status of the restaurant’s operation is undetermined as of this writing.
