Fairfield fire crews responded at 11:30 a.m. to a reported fire at Namaste Grocery, 500 Kolb Drive.
Deputy Fire Chief Tom Wagner said the small grocery does not have a full kitchen, but the city permitted it to cook noodles, and during that process “it set the sprinker system off and they basically needed to have their sprinkler system shut down and reset.”
Namaste Grocery was not evacuated when crews arrived on scene, and several minutes after the initial dispatch call, responding fire crews not already on scene were called off, according to emergency dispatch traffic.
All crews except for one fire department SUV had left the scene by noon.
The grocery store is in a strip mall next to Panera Bread and Great Clips.
