A Friday night fire at a nail salon in Sherwood Commons at 215 East Morris Boulevard is currently under investigation by the Morristown Fire department.

There was nothing visible to firefighters after a 360-degree survey of the shopping center revealed that no smoke was present. Dispatch told firefighters that The GroveWood Baseball Museum had cameras inside its facility with its owner stating that there was smoke inside the museum.
The owner of Simpli Boutique arrived at the scene where light smoke and water was found. Heavy smoke and more standing water were found in the commons area of the center. Moderate smoke and water were discharging from a sprinkler inside the museum.
A scan with a TIC device found that a heat signature was found at the commons area entrance of the Boulevard Salon and Spa. Further evidence of heat and fire were found on the windows of the salon. Multiple sprinkler heads were discharging with evidence of a heavy fire in the massage room. The fire was controlled by the sprinkler system.
The building is owned by Morristown businessman Mike Bunch.
Smoke was pushed out of the building by positive pressure fans. The investigation is ongoing.
