Other / Not Specified, Other Business Fire sprinklers save two area business (Redmond, WA) May 5, 2013 viking210 In a 24 hour period, two fires in Redmond, Washington were controlled by a single fire sprinkler in each of these buildings. The first fire occurred overnight at an occupied commercial building. The fire was confined to one room in the building, centered by a few blower fans thanks to the building’s fire sprinklers, and the business was able to continue business within a couple hours of the fire. The other fire started in the kitchen of a townhouse and was unoccupied save for the resident’s dog. The home’s fire sprinkler extinguished the majority of the fire, thus protecting the dog until firefighters arrived to evacuate the animal. No injuries were reported in either incident.
