Sprinkler system controls daytime fire at high school (Spartanburg, SC)

A small fire caused the R.D. Anderson Applied Technology Center to close its doors Monday afternoon to students. Fire alarms went off at about 11:15 a.m. Monday after a group of students from Spartanburg districts 4, 5 and 6 left to return to their high schools for lunch.

Sherri Yarborough, director of R.D. Anderson, said staff members saw smoke coming from the laundry room door and evacuated the building. Cynthia Robinson, spokeswoman for District 6, said some minor water damage was expected in the building's new wing, but the sprinklers did their job.

“They worked like a charm,” she said.  R.D. Anderson expects to run on a normalschedule Tuesday.

    Fire sprinklers are a good thing to consider when building your house. I have a cousin who's house caught on fire and they lost everything. It's really sad to think that it could have been prevented with fire sprinklers. The thing that she is most upset about are the things that can't be replaced with money, like her children's baby pictures. http://www.inlandfireprotectionco.com/fire-sprinklers--hydrants---pump-systems.html
