Sprinkler system suppresses fire at apartment (Middletown, CT)

Occupants of an apartment were evacuated during the early morning hours on August 19 due to a fire reported on the third floor. The fire was contained by the building's fire sprinkler system; fire crews arrived to put out the remaining blaze. No injuries were sustained in this incident, and the fire is still under investigation.

***Blog Editor's Note - Please let us know what you think of the coverage by the NBC Connecticut and journalist Stephanie Jimenez, who focused on water damage rather than the lives and property saved by the automatic fire sprinkler system.***
