Members of the St. Louis Park Fire Department are investigating a fire at an LA Fitness early Monday morning, a city spokesperson says.
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS photographer saw several units at the scene and the building’s sprinkler system running.
Authorities say St. Louis Park firefighters were called to the location at around 4:15 a.m. and found multiple sources of fire inside. Firefighters extinguished the flames, which the sprinklers kept at bay, and no injuries were reported.
The fitness center, located at 3555 Highway 100, will be closed for the day.
The city says no arrests were made but the fire is being investigated as arson.
Anyone with information is asked to call the St. Louis Park Police Department at 952-924-2600.
It is unknown at this time if the location foresees any impact beyond Monday.
