Fire officials continue to investigate what caused the chair to ignite.
Crews on Sunday morning battled a fire at a Mansfield Township nail salon that police said happened when a pedicure chair ignited.
The fire began at 9:20 a.m. at Coco Nails in the Mansfield Commons II strip mall, 1885 Route 57. Police said the salon was closed at the time and an employee arriving to work noticed the chair smoldering, and then saw flames.
Police said a fire alarm also was going off when the employee arrived. Crews put out the flames within about 10 minutes or less, according to police.
There were no reported injuries. However, Emergency Medical Services did set up a station for firefighters so they could be medically evaluated and take breaks.
The building sustained significant damage. Yo Blast, a frozen yogurt business next to Coco Nails, received water damage, police said.
The only business open in the strip at the time was Starbucks. Police allowed the store to remain open, but shut down the drive-thru.
All firefighters had gone by 11:38 a.m. Fire officials remained to continue to investigate what caused the pedicure chair to ignite.
Also responding were the Tri-County Fire Department, Mansfield Fire Department, Hackettstown Fire Department, Washington Borough Fire Department RIT Team, Warren County fire coordinators, the Mansfield Rescue Squad and Hackettstown Rescue Squad.
