Apartment Building, Residential Huntsville, ON, Canada – Sprinkler system minimizes damage in apartment fire; No injuries reported March 6, 2015 viking210 Firefighters are crediting the sprinkler system with minimizing the damage at an apartment fire. At roughly 2:30 p.m. on Mar. 5 a fire was reported at a 60 unit apartment building on Sabrina Park Drive in Huntsville. When crews from Huntsville Station 1 arrived on scene they found the fire, which was located in the garbage room, had already been extinguished by an activated sprinkler head. Damage from the fire was limited to the garbage and recycling containers in the room. Firefighter’s say if not for the working sprinkler system the fire could well have spread to other parts of the building. All occupants were allowed to return to the building only hours later and noone was injured. Police and the Fire Marshall are investigating to determine the fire’s cause.
