FINANCIAL DISTRICT, Manhattan (WABC) -- A branch of Anthropologie clothing and home goods store flooded on Saturday night in Manhattan after a fire alarm set off the sprinklers.

It is not clear what set off the alarm.

It happened while the store was still open, although it is not clear if any customers were inside.

The FDNY says no one was injured and the alarm was reset.
