Although the fire was under control by 8:15, firefighters had to continue spraying the ruins with flame-retardant foam because of battery acid from the carts No injuries were reported.
General manager Brent Carlson declined to comment because he hadn’t spoken with authorities at Textron Financial Corp., which owns Eagle’s Pointe.
