Business owners continued to clean up a wet mess Friday afternoon after water from their sprinklers put out a fire.
Firefighters got a call around 9:30 a.m. Friday of flooding at the Galleria Mexico Men's Clothing Store at the Fulton Mall near Tulare St.
When crews arrived, they found a fire had been extinguished by the fire sprinkler system on the second floor of the business.
Firefighters believe the fire started after a light was left on which then ignited nearby materials.
The fire sprinklers came on, and water drained down to the first floor and into the basement. Water also flooded nearby businesses including a small market.
Firefighters say damage is estimated at $75,000.
