Single sprinkler head eliminates fire at retirement housing facility (Columbus, GA)

February 8, 2014 viking210

Investigators believe that the fire which began at Farrfield Manor, a retirement home, was started by unattended food that was cooking on the stove of one of its units. Thankfully, the heat from the fire activated a single sprinkler head, which then put out the fire. 

“It went out immediately,” Captain Brian Russell of the Columbus Fire and Emergency Medical Services said.

No one was injured in the incident, and everyone was able to go back to their apartments shortly after the incident.
