CONYERS Rockdale County Fire-Rescue is crediting a sprinkler system with containing a blaze that broke out early Thursday morning at 4D Printing Inc. on Irwin Bridge Road.

According to RCFR, firefighters were called to the structure fire at 1007 Irwin Bridge Road NW at about 1:15 a.m. where they found moderate smoke coming from the side of the building. The sprinkler system had been activated, and when firefighters entered the structure, they found that the fire was completely contained by the sprinkler system. Firefighters put more water on the smoldering print press unit and ventilated the building.

According to a press release from RCFR public information officer George Cox, the sprinkler system had recently been serviced and did what it was designed to do. Without activation of the sprinkler system, Cox said that the fire could have easily spread throughout the 30,000-square-foot business and consumed the building.

According to Cox, sprinkler systems are widely used in commercial and multi-family structures based on codes. However, sprinkler systems are gaining popularity in residential structures because of their effectiveness. Cox stated that sprinkler systems are designed to activate early in a real fire responding to heat, not smoke and do not activate in a non-fire situation. Each sprinkler reacts only to the fire conditions in its area, resulting in less water release than would occur if the fire department had to suppress the fire because later action means more fire, which means more water is needed.

Rep. Berthel and Constituent in Hearing On Sprinkler System Notification - Video

A sprinkler system helped put out a fire and save county property at the Merrimack County Superior Courthouse in Concord yesterday.

A preliminary investigation by the Concord Fire Department, the state fire marshals office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined the fire to have been accidental, according to a press release issued yesterday by the state fire marshals office.

The fire is believed to have started in a vending machine on the first floor of the building.

The Concord Fire Department was called to 163 N. Main St. at 10:13 a.m. after receiving an alert from an automatic fire alarm. Firefighters arrived on scene at 10:18 a.m. to find smoke in the building and an active sprinkler in a room of vending machines.

The building was closed and secure at the time of the fire.

Fire Marshal J. William Degnan said the sprinkler system prevented a much larger fire and loss of county property, as well as reduced the danger to firefighters.

The fire came two days after another one in a similarly unattended public building, in that case owned by the town of Henniker. The Henniker Highway Department garage, which wasnt outfitted with a sprinkler system, and several town vehicles were destroyed in that fire, with damage estimated to be about $1 million.

Fire breaks out at courthouse

By Ashley Csaszar Feb. 3, 2015

UTICA, NY -- Clean up is underway at the Price Chopper grocery store in South Utica after its sprinkler system flooded a portion of the store Monday afternoon.

According to a shopper in the store at the time of the incident, the fire alarm began going off, which activated the sprinkler system around 3 p.m.

All shoppers were evacuated, and the store has been shut down through the overnight as employees and crews work to clean up the several inches of water that accumulated in the front of the store, according to a store official.

The store plans to reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday, said the official.

An investigating into what caused the alarm and sprinklers to go off is ongoing.
