** NO MEDIA COVERAGE – Fire Dept Reported** The Fire occurred the morning of March 2 at a lab / testing facility on 48th street. The fire occurred after some equipment being tested failed. Two sprinkler heads activated as a result and the fire was 95% extinguished when firefighters arrived.
A small plastic ladder near the equipment being tested caught fire and was in an angle that the sprinkler pattern could not get to. The remaining fire was extinguished by fire crews with a water extinguisher. Although this building is type 2 construction, the sprinklers saved this building from thousands in fire damage.
