SKY WALKER TRAMPOLINE PARK FIRE
(Duluth, Ga., April 2, 2018) – Firefighters responded at 9:15 p.m. to an occupant report of a business fire at Sky Walker Trampoline Park, 2200 block of Pleasant Hill Road NW in unincorporated Duluth. The caller to 9-1-1 reported a trampoline on fire and everyone exiting the building. Smoke and flames were reported being visible from the front of the business.
Crews arrived on scene to find a working fire in a large single-story commercial structure. Firefighters had heavy smoke conditions coming from the front doors and deployed multiple attack hose lines. Fire sprinklers were activated inside the business and a fire engine was utilized to boost the pressure to the system. Zero visibility and the large layout made firefighting efforts difficult, but the fire was brought under control without spreading to other occupancies. The business sustained extensive smoke, heat and water damage. Business suites located on either side of trampoline park were not damaged.
An employee at the scene advised the trampoline park was open for extended Spring Break hours until 10 p.m. Approximately five employees and fifteen patrons were in the business when smoke was seen near an air bag platform. An adult female was assessed for injuries sustained prior to the fire. The patient was transported by ambulance to a local hospital with minor injuries. No other injuries were reported at the scene.
A Fire Investigator was requested to respond and assist with the origin and cause determination. The fire originated underneath the air bag platform where electrical components for a blower system are located. Approximately 50 firefighters were on scene to bring the fire under control.
