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
