Springfield, IL – Sprinkler system extinguishes fire in commercial building

Springfield firefighters were called out for a hazmat fire at Solomon Center around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday.

The fire department says discovered there was a small fire that was put out by the sprinkler system.

Firefighters requested a hazmat response due to the large amounts of flammable materials stored in the building and the order of possible flammable vapors.

Hazmat crews arrived on the scene and sampled the air and the water on the ground for possible hazardous materials to find all normal levels.

One worker had minor burns on his hand.
