An afternoon fire erupted in a single family home on July 1st. The residents of the home were not aware that their home was on fire until a neighbor notified them. The fire, which began in the garage, had reached the ceiling when the residents first saw it; however, the installed fire sprinkler activated on the fire, and by the time the fire department arrived, the fire was out.
The estimated loss from the fire was $1,000, and an estimated $600,000 in building and contents were saved thanks to the fire sprinkler system. The cause of the fire was overheated batteries which were being charged on a work bench. No injuries occurred in the incident.

At about 4:20 p.m. on Thursday, a grease fire began in the kitchen of an apartment. The residents, a mother and her two children, were able to evacuate without injury as the fire sprinkler activated and squelched the fire.
Fire Chief Mark Hovland said about the incident, “The fire sprinkler did its job. It could’ve been a lot worse if that sprinkler head would not have been in there.”
