A fire which began in a downtown Plano, Texas restaurant early Sunday, October 13 morning was called in by a police officer who saw smoke coming from the building. 56 fire personnel arrived to the scene and were able to put the fire out within 50 minutes thanks to the restaurant’s fire sprinkler system which had already contained the fire.
“The combination of fire sprinklers and the quick response of the firefighters made the difference in this fire,” Fire Marshal David Kerr said. “Fires occurring when businesses are closed usually have the greatest delay in reporting a fire.”
