Greenville, SC – Fire sprinklers help extinguish fire at lumber warehouse

Firefighting crews responded to a scene at a Greenville lumber warehouse Friday evening, where crews say the building’s sprinkler system helped them extinguish the fire.

FOX Carolina was tipped off to the scene just before 9 p.m. along White Horse Court, at the Builders FirstSource warehouse there. Our crews confirmed fire engines and personnel were handling the scene, noting it appeared that Gantt District Fire Department was the lead agency.

The department said crews found a fire inside the warehouse, but the sprinkler system inside kept it small. Crews were clearing out by 10 p.m. after tackling the blaze.

Gantt District FD said crews from Belmont, Parker, and South Greenville also responded.
