Retail, Shopping Mall Sprinkler system contains fire at strip mall (Ogden, UT) October 16, 2012 viking210 Ogden firefighters credited a sprinkler system for keeping a strip mall fire from becoming a major conflagration. “The sprinkler system did activate and extinguish the majority of the fire,” Deputy Fire Chief Eric Bauman said. While three people were evacuated from Beto’s, none was injured, Bauman said. “This is another example of the benefits of sprinkler systems in businesses,” he added. “The early activation of the business’ sprinkler system played a huge role [in preventing the] spread of the fire.”
