Yesterday, August 13th, the Newport Centre Mall (30 Mall Drive W) in Jersey City was briefly evacuated due to a small fire at Toy Chest, a toy store on the mall’s first floor.
Per NJ.com, a fire was reported at Toy Chest just after 12:30PM. Jersey City spokeswoman, Kimberly Wallace-Scalcion shared the following updates with The Hoboken Girl:
“Upon arrival, JCFD observed a small working fire in the toy chest store. The fire caused moderate smoke conditions inside the mall.
The sprinkler system went off and helped contain the fire. Additionally, the fire department’s quick response kept the fire under control without any fire extension to any other stores.
There are no injuries reported.”
As of today, August 14th, Newport Centre Mall is open and operating as usual. Of course, we’ll update this story with additional details, should they arise.
