Fire sprinklers show worth in home fire (Ridgefield, OR)
Fire sprinklers made the difference in a house fire that started in it's garage. The home's fire sprinkler system kept the fire from spreading, and Clark County Fire and Rescue spokesman Tim Dawdy said things could have been much worse if it weren't for the sprinkler system considering the closest fire hydrant was three miles away. He also reported that the homeowners were initially apprehensive about installing fire sprinklers in the home, but now would never buy a home that wasn't equipped with them

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."
