Fire sprinklers douse suspicious fire at restaurant (Grapevine, TX)
Just before 11 p.m. on Sunday, firefighters received notification of a fire alarm activation at a restaurant. The building was full of smoke, with three separate ignition points to the fire.
“Once the smoke was cleared, they searched the building and found nobody in there,” Grapevine Fire Department’s deputy chief, Darrell Brown said. “The sprinkler took care of the fire.”
Minimal fire damage was reported as a result of the quick elimination. The fire is under investigation, but is being called suspicious in nature. No injuries were reported.

A fire broke out in a junior high school the evening of March 6 when a curtain caught fire on a stage. Fire crews responded within minutes of the fire alarm going off at the school, and they found that the fire sprinkler by the stage had activated and put out the fire.
“It worked perfectly,” Unified Fire Captain Fitzgerald Petersen said. “We’re very happy with the response, how quickly it was contained and put out.”
No one was in the building at the time of the fire, and the cause is under investigation.
