Fire sprinklers credited with extinguishing hotel fire (Kiawah Island, SC)

Guests who were staying at the Sanctuary Hotel were evacuated when a fire began in the hotel's storage room. The sprinkler system extinguished the fire keeping the damage to that single room. No injuries were reported.  

"Fire sprinklers have proven themselves yet again as an invaluable tool to improve property and life safety," said Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh. "A single fire sprinkler head activated and controlled the fire until the fire department arrived."
