A fire at Mrs. GoodFoot nail salon in Cayce caused one lane of Knox Abbott Drive to be temporarily closed on Sunday morning. Quick response from local fire departments ensured public safety without any injuries reported. Investigation into the cause is ongoing, with initial findings suggesting possible electrical origins.
In a surprising turn of events this past Sunday morning, the city of Cayce experienced a fire at the well-known Mrs. GoodFoot nail salon, located in the bustling area of Knox Abbott Drive. This incident not only sent a plume of smoke into the air but also caused a ripple effect in local traffic as one lane of the busy road was temporarily blocked.
The fire first reared its fiery head shortly after 9 a.m., prompting an immediate response from emergency services. Crews from multiple fire departments, including the Cayce Fire Department, Lexington County Fire, and West Columbia Fire Department, raced to the scene to bring the blaze under control and ensure the safety of local residents. The teamwork displayed by these departments undoubtedly played a crucial role in preventing the fire from escalating further.
Fortunately, by 11:15 a.m., responders had managed to bring the situation under control, and the road was fully reopened to the flow of traffic. This swift action meant that the disruption was minimal, allowing drivers to return to their Sunday plans as quickly as possible.
During the response, city officials didn’t waste time in advising the local driving community to steer clear of the area until clearance was given. As the incident unfolded, one lane of Knox Abbott Drive remained blocked off, which could have caused some frustration for those passing through. However, the priority was clear; ensuring public safety took precedence. At this time, it’s good to report that no injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
The nail salon, located at 917 Knox Abbott Drive, is nestled amidst a vibrant collection of restaurants and retail businesses, including the neighboring Tony’s Pizzalicious. With the area being densely populated with patrons and bystanders alike, officials acted swiftly to safeguard the public from potential hazards.
This location is also conveniently situated about a mile from the Blossom Street bridge and downtown Columbia, making it a hotspot for shoppers and diners. As the fire was extinguished, many residents and business owners watched with concern, hoping for the best outcome in terms of damage.
Currently, the investigation into the origin of the fire is ongoing. Some initial findings suggest that the fire may have been electrical in nature; however, the exact cause is still being determined. Fire officials have stated that foul play is not suspected, which is a relief for the community.
At this time, details about the extent of damages to Mrs. GoodFoot and whether the business will face a total loss remains unclear. This beloved salon has been a part of the community, and locals are anxiously awaiting updates on its fate.
As the dust settles from this Sunday morning scare, residents can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the quick response from local fire departments averted what could have been a much larger incident. For now, traffic is back to normal, and the focus shifts to recovering and rebuilding.
