Early morning fire at hydraulic press business extinguished by sprinkler system (Ogden, UT)

A sprinkler system is given credit for putting out a fire at a business early Saturday morning.  The fire was in a hydraulic press at a business. The sprinkler system extinguished the fire rapidly.  The sprinkler system in this fire worked exactly how it was designed and played a large roll in extinguishing the fire and confining it to a small area.

A fire at a St. Albans chemical distribution facility appears to be under control, Kanawha County emergency officials said late this morning. Sprinklers at the Brenntag operation on 1st Street contained the blaze, and crews were ventilating the building before entering to further investigate, said Dale Petry, Kanawha County’s emergency services coordinator.
