(** Blog Note – Sprinklers do not activate by smoke; Only the substantial heat from a significant fire **) Fire crews responded to Via Christi St. Francis hospital Sunday evening after smoke from a trash dumpster fire caused sprinklers to go off at the facility. Dispatch reported smoke on the south side of the hospital where the trash dumpster is located. The fire did not spread to the building.
