Lululemon Athletica Catches Fire, No One Injured

Dedham firefighters responded to at Monday at around 5 p.m. for a fire that originated in a back storage area.

Deputy Chief John O'Brien told Dedham Patch that merchandise too close to a fan caused the fire.

The store's sprinkler system activated and knocked down most of the flames, however firefighters had to connect a hose to quell the rest of the blaze.

Firefighters took about 15 minutes to douse the flames, and were on scene for about an hour, O'Brien said.

Damage was contained to the rear storage area, O'Brien said, with minimal fire damage.

About six employees and an unknown number of customers were in the store and yoga studio at the time of the fire, but no one reported injuries, O'Brien said.

Monday's fire was believed to be the first working fire at Legacy Place since the outdoor shopping center opened in 2009.

O'Brien said fire trucks didn't have an issue navigating Legacy Place's parking lot.

The strip that Lululemon Athletica occupies was evacuated and power was off, according to O'Brien. Legacy Place security closed off the area prior to firefighters arriving on scene.
