Mt. Pleasant Fire Station’s Engine 5 and Truck 5 were quickly dispatched to the scene. Chief Hightower of Mt. Pleasant Fire cited the problem as a potential electrical fire in the produce section of Terrell’s Market.

Corbin Willes was among the crew who first noticed the fire as they were cleaning cases in the produce department. “A light bulb sparked and then we started to see flames…..” Willes stated. A refrigeration technician on scene later confirmed that wiring associated with the produce sprayers in the case shorted out and caught some insulation on fire.

The Mt. Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department swiftly had the situation under control and issued an “all clear” at 10:07 a.m.

Blake Rosenlof, store director of Terrell’s Market, was not immediately available for comment. Terrell’s Market was closed on Sunday at the time of the incident but opened for business as usual on Monday morning.
