Sprinklers make the difference in fire at paper-shredding and recycling company (Spokane, WA)

March 8, 2012 viking210

An employee of DB Secure Shred called 911 and the alarm company reported the fire at just after 7 p.m. The worker attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. The sprinkler system kept the fire under control. Fire crews then used hoses to fight the remain fire; equipment was used to move paper around to search for embers.

“If the sprinklers had not contained the fire, there were enough combustibles to have taken off and caused a lot of damage in the building,” said Deputy Fire Chief Bill Flora.
