Fire at office building controlled by single sprinkler (Lake Zurich, IL)
At 2012 hours on April 17, 2012, the Lake Zurich Fire Rescue Department
received a fire alarm from the Offices of Deer Park Office building. Upon
arrival it was discovered that one sprinkler head had activated outside the
south stairwell on the second floor. A fire had started from workmen leaving a
pile of rags in the corner after using them to stain a brand new floor in
an office build-out. A rug and drywall were burned along with minimal water
damage to the floor.
“The sprinkler system did its job. One head controlled what could of been
a devastating fire with major damage. Tenants were back to work the next day
without interruption. Damage was estimated at less than $10,000.00. A
great save of a million dollar three story office building.”
