DERRY, N.H. - A fire in a garage almost trapped a teenage girl inside an adjoining house after one of her exits was blocked by snow, but a sprinkler head deployed, buying enough time for her to scamper out the other exit to safety, firefighters said.

Firefighters, who had been called by neighbors, arrived Monday evening to find flames engulfing the two-car garage and beginning to spread into the 2.5-story wood-frame home in Derry. The garage collapsed with big parts of the roof intact, suppressing the fire below the roof and making it more difficult to put out the flames, firefighters said.

A 14-year-old girl was home at the time of the fire. The home was protected by a sprinkler system, and one sprinkler head between the garage and the home was activated, unleashing water onto the flames and preventing most of the fire from spreading to the house, firefighters said.

The girl was in the home's basement, but the "secondary exit out of the basement was blocked by snow," firefighters said.

The girl, aided by the sprinkler, scrambled out of the basement's primary exit and made it out through the home's front door, firefighters said. Without the sprinkler system, they said, the fire would have blocked her exit.

No injuries were reported in the fire, whose cause hadn't been determined. Firefighters found and rescued a dog, which was uninjured.

The sprinkler system ran out of water while firefighting crews used their hoses. Part of the fire extended into the home's attic and the roof of a porch.

The home's living area was damaged by smoke and water and will be uninhabitable until it's professionally cleaned, firefighters said. The garage was destroyed.

The fire loss, including the garage's contents, was estimated to be $150,000.

Teen girl blocked by snow, saved by sprinkler in Derry garage fire

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.
