Manufacturing, Other - Manufacturing Cincinnati, OH – Sprinkler system keeps fire from spreading at woodworking operation June 2, 2016 viking210 Cincinnati firefighters say a sprinkler system helped keep a fire at a Linwood business from spreading. Crews were called to Wine Cellar Innovations in the 4500 block of Eastern Avenue just before 8:30 a.m. after workers witnessed smoke and fire coming from one of the company’s large dust collection/air filtration systems. Firefighters encountered heavy smoke conditions on the manufacturing floor of a large industrial woodworking operation, but found the sprinkler system keeping the fire in check, CFD said. All the fire was contained to the sawdust within the hopper, CFD said. Firefighters had a hard time getting to the fire and were on scene for about four hours disassembling the machinery to ensure they had it completely out. The majority of operations at the facility are now back up and operating, the fire department said. No injuries were reported. Damage was estimated at $15,000.
