Fire at resort hotel and spa doused by sprinkler system (Lake Geneva, WI)

Several local fire departments responded to The Cove Thursday night after a fire was detected in the sauna on the lower level pool area. The call came in at about 7 p.m.

“We pulled the Box Alarm because of the size and occupancy of the structure,” Lake Geneva Deputy Fire Chief Dan Derrick said. “Fortunately, the fire sprinkler functioned exactly at it was designed to, which prevented a much more serious fire from causing extensive damage.”
