Burst Pipe Floods Target in Pasadena

A flood at a Target store early Friday caused an estimated $35,000 in damage, officials said.

Pasadena fire responded to an alarm in the store at 5:41 a.m., caused by a burst pipe in the store's receiving area on the second floor.

An employee hit the sprinkler pipe while conducting restock, causing water to flow down to the first floor and the refrigeration room, officials said.

The fire department, on scene for two hours, shut off the sprinkler supply system and removed the sprinkler pipe to prevent further damage.

The store, at 777 E. Colorado Blvd., was able to open for business at 8 a.m., Manager Reanne Butts said.
