None injured in large fire near Dick’s Sporting Goods in The Woodlands Mall

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Firefighters were able to extinguish a large blaze before anyone was injured at The Woodlands Mall.

The Woodlands Fire Department was dispatched Saturday evening after a massive fire broke out at the loading dock between the Dick’s Sporting Goods and Dillard’s stores at the mall.

TWFD posted images of the flames to its Facebook page:

The fire originated from a stack of wood pallets and cardboard behind the stores.

The flames caused substantial damage to the exterior and roof of the Dick’s store, and the interior has minor smoke and water damage as well. Despite the destruction, the store should be able to reopen Sunday morning.

There were no injuries, as the Dick’s’ staff members were able to swiftly evacuate customers as the firefighters dealt with the inferno.
