Sprinklers extinguish fan fire
in vacant home
ARIZONA-A fan left on in a vacant
home caught fire in the middle of the
night, but the residence's sprinklers
activated and extinguished the fire,
which was said to cause minimal
smoke and water damage.
A neighbor summoned the fire
department after he was awakened
by an exterior water flow bell at approximately 2:27 a.m. and saw that
the house was full of smoke. Two fire
departments responded to the alarm,
but the fire was out by the time crews
arrived at the scene.
Crews shut off water, shut power
down at the breaker, and unplugged
the fan. An engine crew secured the
scene because the home's owner was
not present.
News coverage reported that the
fire damage was minimal, with the
homeowner remarking that things
would have been much worse
without the home's sprinkler system
and that he now knew that sprinkler
systems work.
There was fire damage to an electric
fan and a rug underneath the fan but
no smoke or fire damage in any rooms
other than the bedroom in which
the fan was located. According to a
newspaper report, the investigators
determined that the plastic fan caught
fire and then fell to the floor, where it
ignited the carpet.
No dollar estimates of damage were
available.
Sprinkler extinguishes home
cooking fire, limits damage
CALIFORNIA-Firefighters
responded to a mid-afternoon house
fire and arrived to find light smoke
throughout the dwelling and an activated sprinkler head in the kitchen,
which had extinguished the fire.
The fire began when a resident left a
pot of potatoes cooking on the stove.
The fire spread from the stove to an
overhead microwave and cabinet
before it was extinguished by the
sprinkler. Crews shut the sprinklers
down and vacuumed up standing
water in the residence, then restored
the sprinkler system by replacing the
single head.
Crews cleared the scene approximately one hour after receiving the
alarm at 2:35 p.m.
Damage to the property was estimated at $3,000.
Sprinkler extinguishes garage
fire involving bag of charcoal
CALIFORNIA-An automatic detection system dispatched firefighters to
an early-morning residential fire, but
crews arrived to find that a fire that
had ignited in the garage had already
been extinguished by an automatic
home fire sprinkler.
The residence was a two-story
single-family dwelling. The entire
structure was protected by automatic wet-pipe sprinklers. The fire
originated in a bag of charcoal in a
