Fire crews responded to a report of a fire at a business in the 3800 block of 15th Avenue North.
The fire was in a piece of equipment that was kept in check with an automatic sprinkler system, then fully extinguished by fire crews.
Smoke was also in the building that took a while to ventilate.
No further information is available at this time.
Fire officials say a Newburgh business fire was controlled by their sprinkler system.
They say it broke out on Monday night around 9:45 p.m. on Prospect Drive.
Officials say the business is InTerraChem LLC.
Ohio Township Fire officials say they were on scene until just after midnight to overhaul and ventilate the building.
They say the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Officials say they were helped by the Boonville Fire Department, Newburgh Volunteer Fire Department, Chandler Volunteer Fire Department, and Warrick County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch.
Fire Chief Mike Pirie wrote in a social media post on Thursday that fire crews were called on Tuesday, Oct. 7, to a structure fire in a two-story commercial building on Kingsview Boulevard.
“On arrival, fire crews determined that the sprinkler system, located in a second-floor kitchen area, had activated and extinguished a fire which had been burning in a cooking pan left unattended on a stovetop,” Pirie wrote.
He said there were no staff or customers in the building at the time of the incident.
The department reminded residents to:
Firefighters along with the Campbell Police Department arrived quickly and confirmed all occupants were out of the building and made entry into a classic vehicle repair garage. Crews worked to locate the fire with zero visibility because of smoke conditions and extinguished the fire while keeping it to the unit of origin.
The fire was deemed under control by 7:40am. The cause is under investigation.
A SCCFD spokesperson said successful activation of the building sprinkler system prevented further damage to neighboring businesses.
The spokesperson added that fire suppression systems are a critical safety element in commercial buildings, allowing firefighters to work safely and efficiently while helping minimize the spread of the fire.
Firefighters were dispatched shortly after 4:53 p.m. to the 4600 block of Atticus Way after smoke was detected in a lower garage area. Witnesses reported a dumpster on fire.
Bystanders moved the dumpster to a driveway just before crews arrived. Firefighters then applied water to extinguish remaining hot spots. The activated sprinkler had already largely contained the fire.
According to MFD, the sprinkler activation triggered the building’s fire alarm and prompted an evacuation.
Firefighters met with on-site building staff to provide guidance on restoring the sprinkler system and replacing a nearby smoke detector.
Beyond the dumpster, its contents, the affected sprinkler head and a damaged smoke alarm, no other building damage was reported. No injuries were reported.
According to a Monday afternoon update, the fire was contained to a battery room by the sprinkler system and crews stayed on scene through the day to control flare-ups, which can happen when dealing with fires involving batteries.
“This is the fourth incident in the last year at this facility,” Chesterfield Fire and EMS said in a Facebook post.
The first call for a fire at the facility was on Dec. 5. They returned on June 10 and again on Aug. 20, just over two weeks before Monday’s fire.
Chesterfield Fire and EMS noted that fires at data centers are “rare” and that the number of calls does not affect its ability to respond to other emergencies, but the frequency of calls prompted Chesterfield to respond in a statement saying in part:
“The company is actively working with the Chesterfield Fire Marshal’s Office to address the root cause of these incidents and to reduce the risk for future fires.. We are optimistic that proposed improvements at this facility will address the current concerns,” they said.
The fire broke out a little after 5:30 p.m. at the Shepherd Chemical Company. It makes custom metal chemistry products for manufacturers.
Investigators are still determining the cause but said it started in the middle of the building and spread to the roof. The fire was contained by Shepherd’s sprinkler system before agencies arrived at the scene.
Reading, Deer Park-Silverton, St. Bernard, and Little Miami provided mutual aid.
“Every time we get a run to this facility or the next one down, they are chemical companies, and you have this in the back of your mind: ‘This could be a hazmat issue, and we’re concerned about the chemicals.’ But like I said, we work well with these two companies. We train with them,” said Norwood Fire Department Captain Brett Cartuyvelles.
All employees on the second shift got out safely and are back to work. No firefighters were injured.
The Norwood Fire Department will be driving past the plant every 20 minutes to make sure the fire doesn’t rekindle.
The fire broke out just before 1 p.m. at Standard Restaurant Supply, located near 3500 South and West Temple. The building’s sprinkler system activated and quickly extinguished the flames.
Some retail products were damaged, but no injuries were reported.
The store reopened by 1:45 p.m., officials said. The South Salt Lake Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire.
Fire crews are on the scene at an Evergreen business Thursday morning.
There is little information immediately available, but a spokesperson with Evergreen Fire Rescue told Denver7 crews discovered and put out a small fire inside Wild Game Entertainment Experience.
The call came in at around 4:30 a.m. and the building’s sprinkler system kept the fire contained.
A Denver7 photographer said there was no smoke or flames visible outside the building is off Hwy 74 and Bergen Pkwy.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. This story will be updated once we learn more.
Firefighters were called to an automatic fire alarm at a commercial building on Sacket Point Road on Saturday around 5:30 p.m. Additional firefighters from surrounding towns were also brought in.
Once inside, firefighters said they found heavy smoke conditions throughout the building and found a machine on fire.
The sprinkler system activated and helped to slow the spread of the fire.
The building was not occupied at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.
Fire officials said business operations are temporarily impacted due to equipment damage that is pending repairs, but the offices remain open.
Investigators said the equipment and damages are estimated to be about $100,000.
