Residential, Single Family Home Lafayette, CA – Sprinkler system helps stop fire in single-family home, Fire crews rescue dog December 6, 2014 viking210 Crews responded around 8:45 a.m. to reports of a fire at a house on Kim Road and arrived to find that a sprinkler system inside the home had helped prevent the blaze from spreading, fire Capt. George Laing said. Firefighters rescued a pet dog from a fire that damaged a hillside home in Lafayette this morning, a Contra Costa County Fire Protection District spokesman said. The home’s hillside location and its distance from the nearest fire hydrant made it tough to access and douse the flames, but crews were able to get the fire under control around 9:20 a.m., Laing said. “All in all, this was a great job by the crews and a save by the sprinkler system,” the fire captain said.
