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.

Just before 11 p.m. on Sunday, firefighters received notification of a fire alarm activation at a restaurant. The building was full of smoke, with three separate ignition points to the fire.
“Once the smoke was cleared, they searched the building and found nobody in there,” Grapevine Fire Department’s deputy chief, Darrell Brown said. “The sprinkler took care of the fire.”
Minimal fire damage was reported as a result of the quick elimination. The fire is under investigation, but is being called suspicious in nature. No injuries were reported.
