Retail, Shopping Mall Miami, FL – Sprinkler system helps prevent shopping mall fire from spreading December 15, 2016 viking210 A sprinkler system played a role in containing a fire that took place Monday night at Ultra Mall in downtown Miami. The fire started at about 10 p.m. in the 1100 block of Southwest First Avenue. Smoke was coming from the storefront of Flossie’s — a store that sells items such as incense, oils, candles and books — when firefighters arrived. Miami Department of Fire-Rescue Capt. Ignatius Carroll said a sprinkler system contained the fire to a small area and prevented it from spreading to neighboring businesses. “A small fire was located inside of the store and was quickly extinguished,” he said. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
