Manufacturing, Other - Manufacturing Redding, CA – Fire at silk-screening business put out by single sprinkler April 25, 2016 viking210 An automatic sprinkler system extinguished a fire in a silk-screening business Saturday morning in the 17800 block of Construction Way. Redding firefighters responded to a water-flow alarm at 10:10 a.m. When crews arrived, they found a single fire sprinkler head already had put out the flames. The owner left the business at 9:45 p.m. Friday night and forgot to turn off a high-wattage heating lamp that’s used to dry silk-screening products, firefighters said. The lamp started a fire in material on a plastic, roll-away cart. Damage was estimated at less than $5,000. The sprinkler saved thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment, inventory and the building, firefighters said.
