Damage minimized at apartment thanks to fire sprinkler system (Rochester, NY)

A second story apartment unit had a kitchen fire the afternoon of September 1. Fire crews were alerted to the fire by the activation of the building's fire sprinkler system. The sprinklers quickly suppressed the fire.

"This was a great save," said Rochester Fire Marshal Larry Mueller. "Had the sprinkler not been installed in the structure, the fire would have rapidly grown and caused extensive damage to the structure."


No one was reported injured, and the cause of the fire was slated as unattended cooking on the stove.
