Fire units responded to a fire alarm at Asheville Mall near the food court and Barnes & Noble. Crews checked inside the mall and around the riser room outside the food court. They found no smoke, no visible fire, and no water flow from the sprinkler system. The main alarm panel showed multiple trouble signals related to risers that had been out of service for some time. Mall security reported that riser room three and its sprinkler system were supposed to be in test mode and still tripped. The call was treated as a system issue, and most units were released when no emergency was found.
