Sprinklers save restaurant from fire (Westminster, CO)

Shortly before 2 a.m. on Monday, a duct detector activation indicated that there was a possible fire at a restaurant. A security guard who investigated the alert found smoke and called the authorities. Upon arrival to the scene, firefighters found the fire had been contained by two sprinkler heads and quickly extinguished it. 

Battalion Chief David Varney said, "It really makes a difference when structures have sprinkler systems in place. Their activation reduces the amount of property damage and practically eliminates the spread of fire and threat of injury."

There were no reported injuries, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
