YMCA fire contained by fire sprinkler system (Longview, OR)

Fire crews who responded to a fire in the sauna of a YMCA found the flames mostly doused by one of the building's fire sprinklers.  The fire began due to a rubber mat being placed over the sauna's heater in the women's locker room, and thanks to the sprinkler system, fire damage was limited to that area, and no one was reported injured.

Longview Fire Marshal Jim Kambitz stated, "Without the fire sprinkler activation, this fire could have caused much more damage and placed lives at risk."
