What happened at Oakridge Mall today?

Question

I was at the mall and the fire alarm started going off and we had to leave... then the mall was closed for the rest of the day... some say a fire but others say a bomb threat... does anyone know what really happened?

Answer 1

I was there yesterday and I was in a store when the power went out. I stayed for a few minutes, then left and saw half the mall had lost power. As I was walking out, a woman directed us away from a door, and there were half a dozen firemen near it putting on gas masks. When I got to my car I saw smoke coming out of a door so I assumed it was a fire.

Answer 2

Read that it was a transformer explosion inside of Macys. A fire resulted, and I guess the sprinklers were activated.

Answer 3

Channel 5 is saying that is was an electrical fire. The fire is out but there is no electricity in the facility.

Answer 4

Haha...they let everyone back in after 15 min. Believe it or not this happened to me too a week and a half ago as I was leaving. People later said they let everyone back in about 15-20 min later, so I remembered that and waited outside. Good thing I did because I went back in and finished buying some other stuff haha.

Answer 5
