Fire crews were alerted to a fire at a dry cleaner on Sunday night. After breaking down the front windows and encountering heavy smoke, they found the fire contained by the building’s fire sprinkler and quickly doused the remaining flames.
“The combination of the quick work of the fire department and the working sprinkler system confined the fire damage to the business of origin,” said Weymouth Fire Department fire prevention coordinator, Justin Myers.
There were no injuries reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

A 103-unit apartment building had a fire break out on December 10 in one of it’s three-bedroom apartments. The sprinkler system in the hallway activated, containing the fire until fire crews arrived and put out the rest of the flames. Firefighters are crediting the sprinkler system with saving lives and property.
“Sprinklers help keep the fires in check which gives the residents time to get out of the building, working in connection with a fire alarm that works well definitely saves lives,” Holyoke Fire Captain Anthony Cerruti said. “A small fire can go to a large fire in less than three minutes, and if you don’t have a working smoke detector or more importantly a sprinkler system, you’re looking at a total loss.”
All residents were able to evacuate safely and without injury.
