Fire tempoarily closes Dick's Sporting Goods in the Salmon Run Mall
Watertown (Nathan Lehman WTNY) -- An anchor store at the Salmon Run Mall in Watertown was shut down for a portion of the weekend following a fire.
The blaze occurred Saturday morning at Dick's Sporting Goods. Officials say the fire began at around 4:30 am when a light fixture overheated, causing plastic to drip into a clothing rack below. That caused the clothes to catch fire. The sprinkler system was activated, giving a big help to firefighters before they arrived to the scene.
The store was closed all day Saturday, but reopened Sunday afternoon.
No other business in the mall was damaged.
