Roosevelt
Field mall was evacuated this morning due to a fire.
Authorities
say flames broke out in a bathroom in G-Star just after 10:30 a.m.
Chief
Fire Marshall Mike Utaro called the fire “accidental” and said it
was caused by an electrical malfunction.
There
were 55 firefighters on scene. No injuries were reported.
Utaro
says the mall reopened except for the G-Star store and a dance store below it,
due to water leakage.
