On Tuesday, September 10, 2019, the Farmers Branch Fire Department was dispatched to an automatic fire alarm call to Brookdale Assisted Living Center, located at 13505 Webb Chapel, Farmers Branch, TX 75234.

Upon arrival, a maintenance employee met Truck 131 crew at the fire pump room and stated he had a sprinkler head go off due to a cooking fire.  While the pot was on fire, an employee took the burning pot to the sink to pour water over the burning pot.  During this action, the sprinkler head above the sink activated and extinguished the fire.  No injuries occurred.

T131 crew shut down the sprinkler system by turning off the main control valve and opening main drain.   Administration was advised that the sprinkler head would have to be replaced before the system could be restored.
