Fire sprinklers suppress arson fire at retail store (Fort Pierce, FL)

Fire officials are ruling the cause of a fire that started in the early afternoon at a retail store as arson. The fire started in the paper products aisle, and the fire sprinkler kicked on to keep the fire in control until fire crews arrived. 

"The fire sprinklers did exactly what they were supposed to do. If it wasn't for the fire sprinklers, there would have been more extensive damage," Fire District Captain Derek Foxx said.
