Athletic Club/Sports Facility, Other Business Mount Kisco, NY – Electrical fire at go-kart track is held at bay by sprinkler system February 14, 2019 viking210 Last Monday’s fire at the complex that contains the Grand Prix New York go-kart track was determined to be electrical, Mount Kisco Fire Chief David Hughes said today. The small fire broke out around 3:40 p.m. in a storage area in the back of the commercial property at 333 N. Bedford Road. There was heavy smoke, but the fire was extinguished quickly, Hughes said. “The sprinkler system kept the fire at bay, so it was a good thing they had it,” he said. The cause of the fire was electrical, Hughes said, but it was not clear what exactly was at the root of the fire. Several local fire departments responded to help Mount Kisco, including Bedford Hills, Millwood, Yorktown, Chappaqua and Pleasantville, Hughes said. The facility, almost 600,000 square feet, is owned by Diamond Properties. Partner Bill Diamond said on Monday that “it was a very small, localized fire in the storage room,” with no real property damage. The businesses at the complex were not affected, he said.
