Small fires found inside Jamestown Mall Tuesday

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Small fires were found inside Jamestown Mall in north St. Louis County Tuesday around 7:30 a.m.

Blackjack Fire Chief Roger Ellison told News 4 they were passing by and saw smoke coming from the mall. Once firefighters made their way into the building, several small fires were found inside.

There was a fire at the mall back in April where two firefighters were injured and taken to the hospital. Fire officials said that was “at least” the third major fire at the mall since it closed permanently in 2014.

After the April fire, the St. Louis County Port Authority moved forward with plans for demolition. A timeline for how soon that could happen is still in progress.
