A grease fire began in a third floor unit of an apartment building on Tuesday evening. When fire crews arrived soon after they received the alert, they found that a single fire sprinkler had activated and eliminated the fire with no fire damage to the building.
According to City Fire Marshal Alan Carter, “Without fire sprinklers and quick extinguishment, this could have easily been fire that could cause a very significant loss from fire, displaced twelve families, and potential loss of life.”
