Hundreds of people poured out of the Chesterfield Mall Friday evening, shortly before 9 p.m., after a high-pressure reading in the water line feeding the mall's fire sprinkler system triggered a fire alarm.
Battalion Chief Sean Porter with the Monarch Fire Protection District said the system behaved as it should and that the high pressure warning "was a typical event." No water lines were broken and there were no reported injuries or serious problems as a result.
The incident was over shortly after 9 p.m.
