Sprinkler system contains truck fire at City of Dayton garage (Dayton, OH)

Dayton crews were dispatched just before 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The sprinkler system in the City of Dayton garage at the public works facility worked as designed in containing the vehicle fire to the one heavy-duty truck, Dayton Fire Chief and Director Jeffrey Payne said.  The sprinkler system had knocked out the flames by the time firefighters arrived, he said.  An investigator was called to the scene as a matter of standard department protocol, as Payne said it appears no one was in the building when the fire erupted under the truck's hood.
