LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (CBS) - Authorities in Mercer County have contained a fire that reportedly broke out in the parking lot at the Quaker Bridge Mall Wednesday evening.

Crews responded to a reported fire at about 9 p.m. off of Brunswick Pike in Lawrenceville. Authorities say the mall was partially evacuated after heavy smoke filled the south wing of the mall between Macy’s and Sears.

According to police, the small fire was sparked by a stray cigarette, which possibly ignited a group of leaves near the building.

No injuries have been reported.

    I was there. I was parked right by this entrance to sears. There was smoke inside the mall and none outside the mall. Having been there looking for answers, this story makes no sense.
