CFD working on stopping a sprinkler head from flooding the Popcorn Shop Factory in Shaker Square. Not sure if there was a fire or the sprinkler head just broke but it's making quite the mess. Roads open but take it slow through here. pic.twitter.com/hVyfNPQZMu

Dewey’s Coffee shared a storefront space with the Popcorn Factory, and both closed their doors last May.
No further details on this fire were released. News 5 will update this story as more information becomes available.
