Shortly before 2 a.m. on Monday, a duct detector activation indicated that there was a possible fire at a restaurant. A security guard who investigated the alert found smoke and called the authorities. Upon arrival to the scene, firefighters found the fire had been contained by two sprinkler heads and quickly extinguished it.

Battalion Chief David Varney said, “It really makes a difference when structures have sprinkler systems in place. Their activation reduces the amount of property damage and practically eliminates the spread of fire and threat of injury.”

There were no reported injuries, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Fire crews responded to a reported fire at about 4 a.m. on Saturday morning to discover broken glass in its front windows and two small fires in the front and back of the building. The restaurant’s fire sprinkler system had contained the fire to their ignition spots, and firefighters were able to put out the rest. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Keola Park, a Fresno Fire spokesman, said, “The sprinkler did its job, which is good because the structure is connected to a strip mall, and the fire could have spread.”

According to investigators, some money was taken from the restaurant, and the fires were set in separate locations. The investigation remains ongoing.

Sprinkler system limits damage at country club fire (Hoover, AL)

A little after 9:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a fire at a country club. The flames, which started on the loading dock of the club, traveled into the building’s attic, where the fire sprinklers activated and contained the fire .

“The fire was under control within 15 minutes,” Hoover Fire Department Executive Director Rusty Lowe said.

The cause of the fire appears to be accidental. This is not the first fire that the clubhouse has suffered, however; in 2007, the same country club was destroyed in a fire.

“When the clubhouse was rebuilt, it was built to current code that required the modernized fire suppression system,” Lowe said. “Had it not been for the sprinklers the fire might have spread extensively throughout the attic.”

No injuries were reported.
