Emergency crews responded Tuesday night after a fire broke out inside the DeSoto Parish Detention Center in Mansfield.

According to the City of Mansfield, the fire originated from a dryer inside the facility. Officials say the detention center’s fire sprinkler system activated immediately and successfully extinguished the fire as designed.

The Mansfield Fire Department responded to the scene and suited up to ensure the fire did not spread or cause additional damage inside the facility.

As a precaution, inmates were relocated away from the affected area to help prevent smoke inhalation-related illnesses while firefighters worked to secure the scene.

City officials stated that the Mansfield Fire Department will remain on fire watch throughout the night as an added safety measure.

At this time, no major injuries have been reported, and authorities say the sprinkler system played a critical role in quickly controlling the situation before widespread damage could occur.
