A fire alarm went off at the Omni Hospital Services building on 475 28 1/4 Road in Grand Junction just before 8:30 PM on Christmas night dispatching the Grand Junction Fire Department to the area.

According to the fire department, smoke was in the building setting off the sprinkler system.  (Blog Editor’s Note – Smoke cannot activate a sprinkler system.  Only the substantial heat from a significant fire)

When crews got to the building they extinguished the fire. A laundry bin in the structure is what is being looked at as the cause of the fire. Fire crews stayed to clean up and help the business get back in service.
