Malfunctioning heating element causes fire at Scott Oaks Plaza

SCOTT, La. (KLFY) — A fire sprinkler system may have prevented a fire in Scott from causing severe damage.

On Monday, fire officials responded to a commercial fire alarm at 5511 Cameron Street, located at Scott Oaks Plaza. Upon arrival, officials said they observed water flowing from the sprinkler system at the Acadiana Jiu Jitsu business in the Piggly Wiggly Shopping Center.

Officials said when they entered the premises they discovered a fire in a restroom, which the
sprinkler system had extinguished and, to minimize water damage, firefighters shut off the
water supply to the sprinkler system.

An investigation revealed that a malfunctioning heating element within a sauna
caused the fire, which the sprinkler system quickly brought under control and
extinguished.

Fire Chief Chad P. Sonnier said this incident serves as a prime example of the critical role fire sprinklers play in saving lives and reducing property damage.
