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.

ENGLEWOOD Firefighters battled a two-alarm fire at the Towne Center apartment complex on Friday evening, with the citys fire chief crediting the buildings sprinkler system with containing the blaze to one room and preventing more extensive damage.
The fire was caused by a candle that fell over in a living room about 5:40 p.m. in an apartment on the fourth-floor of the 4-story complex and led to the temporary evacuation of about 150 people, said city Fire Chief Gerald Marion. It was under control about 30 minutes later, he said, adding that no one was injured and the fires cause was determined to be accidental.
Marion said the building, comprising two connected towers, is made of the same lightweight construction as the Avalon apartment complex in Edgewater where about hundreds of people were displaced indefinitely last week when one of its two buildings was destroyed by fire despite the presence of a sprinkler system. The Englewood complexs robust sprinkler system did most of the work of putting out Fridays fire, the chief said.
Had there not been a sprinkler, we would have potentially seen something similar to Edgewater, Marion said.
He said that owners of the Towne Center, which has more than 180 units, omn Friday night began repairing damage to the apartment where the fire occurred. The family that resides there is staying elsewhere during repairs, he said. Other residents were allowed to return to their apartments about an hour after the fire began.
