It took firefighters

about two hours to contain a blaze at Peachtree Bath Spas on Walker Parkway

near the Fayette Pavilion Monday afternoon.

The cause of

the fire was determined to be accidental: a space heater had been left

on, igniting the fire, said Capt. Pete Nelms of the Fayette County Department

of Fire and Emergency Services.

Estimates of

the damage range from $150,000 to $250,000 including inventory, Nelms

said.

No one was

injured during the fire, Nelms added.

The Fayetteville

Fire Department was the first to reach the scene. Although the business

is located in the county, Fayetteville responded because its fire station

at the Pavilion is closer than the nearest county station, Nelms said.

Fayette County

units also responded as both departments worked to extinguish the blaze,

Nelms added.

When units

first arrived, flames were visible through the roof of the structure,

Nelms said.
