TEMPLE, Texas — The Temple Mall is getting a comprehensive safety inspection by the city due to concerns about fire and building code violations, according to the City of Temple.
"The inspection is currently ongoing," the city told 6 News. "We will send an updated media release once we know the findings of the inspection."
Temple Mall Spokesperson and Business Owner Rob Brandenburg is still processing the situation, he told 6 News.
"For the community, they could know this is not the fault of any businesses in the Temple Mall. While the mall may have its issues, the businesses within it are not the reason and we would hope the community would not see this as a reflection of any tenant," he said. "These businesses, many of them small and local, are part of the community in multiple ways and will need the full support of our community once this is resolved."
The inspection will involve the following team:
- Fire Marshal
- City building inspectors
- Code compliance officials
- Representatives from the Bell County Public Health District
Following the inspection, they will share the findings and take any action to address the safety concerns, the city said.
