Fire Causes Evacuation Of Sky Walker Trampoline Park In Duluth

DULUTH, GA – Sky Walker Trampoline Park was evacuated Monday after a fire broke out underneath a air bag platform. Approximately five employees and fifteen patrons were in the business when smoke was seen. One woman was assessed for injuries sustained prior to the fire. The patient was transported by ambulance to a local hospital with minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.

Firefighters responded at 9:15 p.m. to Sky Walker Trampoline Park, 2200 block of Pleasant Hill Road NW in unincorporated Duluth after a 911 caller reported a trampoline on fire and everyone exiting the building. Smoke and flames were reported being visible from the front of the business.

Crews arrived on scene to find a working fire in a large single-story commercial structure. Firefighters had heavy smoke conditions coming from the front doors and deployed multiple attack hose lines. Fire sprinklers were activated inside the business and a fire engine was utilized to boost the pressure to the system. Zero visibility and the large layout made firefighting efforts difficult, but the fire was brought under control without spreading to other occupancies. The business sustained extensive smoke, heat and water damage. Business suites located on either side of trampoline park were not damaged.
