SILVERDALE A Thursday morning fire at the Kings Wok Buffet was extinguished by the sprinkler system, with minimal damage done.
Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue crews credited a recent upgrade of the system that was part of an extensive remodel, said CKFR spokeswoman Ileana LiMarzi.
The same Silverdale Way complex in 1998 incurred extensive damage when a fire in a sports bar gutted that business and temporarily closed 10 other businesses with smoke damage. That fire caused $1.2 million in damage. Arson was suspected at the time.
In Thursdays fire, CKFR responded to an alarm indicating the sprinkler had activated. Firefighters found a fire that had started in a food cart at the rear of the kitchen. The sprinkler system had kept the fire in check, and firefighters were able to put it out with only an extinguisher.
The fire caused an estimated $5,000 in damage. There was no structural damage. The Kitsap County fire marshal said the fire appears accidental.

New sprinkler system credited with limiting King's Wok fire
A spokesperson from Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue says that a sprinkler system saved ten Silverdale businesses from being destroyed by fire early Thursday morning.
Fire crews from CKFR received a call in reference to an alarm activation at the Kings Wok Buffet, located 9960 Silverdale Way, at about 6:11 a.m. Thursday.
On arrival crews discovered light smoke throughout the restaurant and found the alarm system showing a sprinkler flow activation. The call was upgraded to a commercial structure fire and additional units were dispatched.
Firefighters found that a fire had started on a food cart in the rear of the kitchen and had activated the sprinkler system. The sprinkler system extinguished the majority of the fire and firefighters were able to extinguish the remaining fire with just a fire extinguisher. Ceiling tiles were removed and the overhead area was checked to ensure there had been no extension.
"Fire protection sprinklers are responsible for containing the fire to a small corner of the kitchen," said CKFR spokesperson Ileana LiMarzi. "The fire was significant enough that three sprinkler heads were activated. Without the activation of the sprinkler system this fire would have quickly spread throughout the structure and potentially destroyed the nine other businesses housed in the building.
LiMarzi noted that in 1998 this same tenant space, with a different restaurant at the time, had a fire and sustained a $1.2 million loss due to not having a sprinkler system. The fire today is estimated to have caused only $5,000 in content loss and no structural damage. The current total value of the building today is over $5 million.
"This is because in just the last 90 days the Kings Wok Buffet had completed a remodel and while doing so had retrofitted the business with the fire sprinkler system," LiMarzi added.
The County Fire Marshal responded and determined the fire to be accidental and to have been caused by spontaneous combustion.

The Board approved four-year board member Dr. John Thomas to serve as President of the Board, and three-year board member Keith Phillips to serve as Vice President. The Altus Public School District Board of Education approved this reorganization of the Board during their regular meeting held 5 p.m., Monday, March 11, in the Conference Room of the Administrative Center at 219 N. Lee.
The newest Board member Nate Covington was present.
The Board of Education also approved to accept the bid from Ricks Lawn Sprinklers to install a sprinkler system to the Altus High School game and practice football fields for the amount of $42,650. Board member Darrell Moss raised the question of whether or not it would be better to install AstroTurf for the playing field in order to help with the water conservation effort. It was discussed that the cost of an AstroTurf can reach upwards of $600,000. Superintendent Bob Drury assured that the new sprinkler system design will help save on the water bill and provide more coverage than the current sprinkler system.
After the initial roll and the flag salute led by Phillips, Dr. Thomas noted that the pay request from Vance Hunt Libraries for the High School library furniture and shelving does not require Board action because it has been already been approved by the Altus City Council. Thomas also provided that the Choice of School Enrollment period is May 6-10, and Pre-K enrollment is June 1 at AHS.
The Board approved claims and items on the consent agenda. There were no actions to be taken to amend any current polices.
Accepted school district resignations include certified personnel Pam Booker, Family Consumer Services at Altus High School, effective May 30, Joe McIntyre, Special Education at Altus Intermediate School, May 24, and non-certified personnel Maria Derruisseaux, Secretary of Adult Education, June 30, and Deanna Jones, Crossing Guard at Sunset Elementary, May 24.
Reassignments approved for 2013-2014 school year include certified personnel Kim Allen from Counselor at both AHS and Roosevelt Elementary School to full-time counselor at AHS, Gigi Brickhouse from the Intermediate School to Vocal Music Teacher at the Junior High School, Samantha Gregory from Title I to Counselor at the Intermediate School, Chuck Martin from Alternative Education at Altus Junior High School to Assistant Principal at the Intermediate school, Lori Reden to be full-time counselor at the intermediate school, and Deborah Webb, to be Dean of Students at Bulldog Academy.
Approved non-certified reassignments include Deborah Green go to ISS supervisor at the Intermediate School, and Vicki Heitert from Special Education Aide at Rivers Elementary to Custodian at the Junior High School.
Proposed substitutes, time sheet employees, volunteers, and extra duty assignments were approved by the Board.

Trial Offer by Houston Pro Services to provide 200 Solar Sync ET sensors at no cost to new lawn sprinkler installation customers in Houston. These sensors, which are usually a $300 upgrade, help conserve water and provide extra convenience to homeowners.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 12, 2013
The Hunter Solar Sync ET sensor assesses sunlight and temperature and adjusts the sprinkler system daily to determine evapotranspiration (ET) and adjust the irrigation run time against the programmed run time according to its seasonal adjustment value. The sensor also immediately halts irrigation in the event of rain or freezing conditions as required by Texas law.
Due to water conservation concerns, all automatic sprinkler systems installed after January 1, 2009, are required to have a rain/freeze sensor per Texas State Law. However, the law stopped short of requiring new sprinkler systems to automatically adjust and account for other changes in the environment that could reduce the amount of water wasted.
Houston Pro Services is dedicated to providing responsible landscaping solutions that are smart and affordable. According to William Santamaria, owner of Houston Pro Services, You hire a licensed irrigator to custom design your irrigation system for durability and efficiency, but you still have to make manual changes to the settings to adjust the amount of water being used. It is not a very efficient or convenient way to manage it, which is why we are offering this upgrade.
The issue with traditional sprinkler system installations is that the homeowner must change the programing based on weather conditions or seasonal adjustments, which unfortunately, just does not happen. Even the most dedicated homeowner tends to forget to adjust the settings to compensate for the changes in season or weather. Providing free Smart Sprinkler Systems on new installations will allow our customers to just set it one time and forget it, said Mr. Santamaria.
A smart sprinkler system prevents wasting water because it will only run just enough water based on sunlight, temperature, and ET throughout the entire year, unlike homeowners who make their own judgments solely according to current temperature. Commercial irrigation systems use smart sprinkler systems because water conservations and savings are extremely important for larger jobs.The water savings for large systems, which can be up to 30%, are considerable due to the number of gallons used each week. Hence, Houston Pro Services residential customers who receive a free Smart Sprinkler System upgrade will benefit by not only the convenience of the system, but will enjoy the substantial savings in the cost of running the system.
Houston Pro Services is a family owned company that specializes in landscaping, and lawn sprinkler systems based in Houston, Texas. For further information, you may contact William Santamaria at 1-713-396-3320 or visit the website at http://www.houstonproservices.com.

Houston Pro Services to Offer Smart Lawn Sprinkler System Upgrades at No Extra Cost
DeKALB Officials at the Egyptian Theatre are hoping to finish installing a building-wide sprinkler system by the end of August.
Alex Nerad, the theaters executive director, said he is working with contractors to ensure a smooth installation, and to make it appear the sprinkler system was originally part of the building.
We dont anticipate interrupting anything we already have planned, Nerad said.
On Monday, the DeKalb City Council voted 5-1 to allow the Preservation of the Egyptian Theatre organization to spend $127,400 to install a sprinkler system using money previously earmarked for other theatre projects.
The city had already allocated $374,000 to the Egyptian Theatre to pay for the air conditioning system, which leaders canceled after learning it would cost about $2 million.
The city also allocated $100,000 in tax increment financing funds to the theater as a part of its annual pledge.
First Ward Alderman David Jacobson, a frequent critic of how tax increment financing dollars are spent, cast the lone no vote Monday.
Aldermen Kristen Lash and Ron Naylor, of the 3rd and 5th wards, respectively, were absent.
City Manager Mark Biernacki said the funds remaining after the sprinkler system installation which could be almost $350,000 would be spent on a prioritized list of building improvements at the theater.
We saw no reason to direct it to nontheater projects, Biernacki said. The money was already allocated to the theater, but for different projects than what was allocated for.
