Cooking oil in a pot on the stove was ignited, possibly by a few drops of water, which caused the “ball of fire” that set off the sprinkler head, Howe said. It also activated the range hood extinguishing system, putting out the oil still burning in the pot.
Losses were estimated at $30,000 in contents, but none to the building itself, both of which were insured.
The sprinkler, designed to open at 165 degrees, “saved the structure from what might have been a devastating loss,” Howe said in a news release.
The fire alarm system also quickly notified Deschutes County 911, as did a couple of customers.
