Sprinklers make the difference in golf clubhouse fire (Rancho Santa Fe, CA)

September 4, 2013 viking210

At 8:06 PM on September 1st, firefighters arrived to a fire call at a golf clubhouse. The fire crews located the fire, which had been eliminated by the building’s fire sprinkler system, in the attic space. A wedding party that was occurring in the building was relocated to the outdoor patio until the fire was reported as eliminated.

Battalion Fire Chief Fred Cox said about the incident, “… without fire sprinklers this could have been a major fire. The fire was well established before sprinkler activation, and without them, it would have easily spread unchecked through a very large and open attic space before being detected.” 

Fire investigators are initially blaming the fire on electrical issues; no injuries occurred as a result of the fire.
