ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) -An electrical fire has caused the Target store in Ashwaubenon to close for the night.
According to Public Safety officials, a fire alarm went off at the Cormier Road location just before 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Everyone inside the store evacuated safely. As officers arrived, they noticed smoke coming from the building.
Crews found a part of the utility area of the store was on fire shortly after. That area is in the back of the store, near the loading dock.
The fire was contained to the mechanical room area and quickly put out.
Officials are trying to figure out what caused the fire and it’s not clear how much damage was done.
“An observer said that there was a loud pop outside shortly before we had the fire alarm, so we have public service dispatch out now to take a look at the area,” Chief Eric Dunning of Ashwaubenon Public Safety told FOX 11.
The store is closed for the night while electricity is being restored.
