Retail, Shopping Mall Tulsa, OK – Sprinklers confine fire at Woodland Hills Mall to small area January 14, 2016 viking210 A small fire triggered an alarm and was extinguished at Woodland Hills Mall on Monday evening, a Tulsa Fire Department spokesman said. Fire Capt. Stan May said some boxes in a sub-level storage area near JCPenney, on the south side of the mall at 71st Street and Memorial Drive, caught fire and triggered an alarm about 8 p.m. Three sprinklers were activated and kept the flames confined to the boxes, which were in a hallway area, May said. Damage was minimal in large part because the storage area has a concrete floor, he said. However, about 2 inches of water was standing in the storage area as of Monday night. A restoration and cleanup company were brought to the scene to survey the damage. Fire alarms went off in the mall, and an entrance near the store was briefly blocked to visitors, but May said shoppers were able to leave once fire crews determined that everyone in the mall was safe. No public shopping areas were damaged in the incident. The fire remains under investigation.
