The fire originated in the break room of this build-out. When firefighters arrived at the Mall around 9:30 a.m., they detected a light haze within the basement area. With the aid of a thermal imaging camera, firefighters entered The Face Place and first detected heat in the form of warm water flowing down a hallway. The firefighters advanced into the hallway and ultimately into the break room. When the firefighters entered the break room, the thermal imaging camera detected heat from the concealed space above the suspended ceiling of the break room. The thermal imaging camera did not detect a source of heat from anywhere else in the room. Significantly, the thermal imaging camera did not detect any heat source from the counter area of the break room where a small Black & Decker toaster oven (“toaster oven”) was located. Neither did the thermal imaging camera detect heat from the wooden cubicles and shelves located directly above the toaster oven.
