Fire crews were called to an apartment fire on September 18. A resident had left something cooking on the stove, and it caught fire, which then activated a fire sprinkler head.
Cookeville Fire Captain Daryl Blair said, “It did its job. That is just another case that shows fire sprinkler systems are effective and do their job when activated. It could have been a different scenario if there hadn’t been a fire sprinkler system.”
No injuries were reported.
