How To Winterize Your Fire Sprinkler System from Ryan Fireprotection - Video
VAIL A New Years Eve kitchen fire in a condominium at Lion Square Lodge, 660 W. Lionshead Place, was quickly contained by the activation of the automatic fire sprinkler system in the unit. According to Vail Fire Marshal Mike Vaughan, the fire in the recently renovated east building was controlled by a single sprinkler in the kitchen near the stove.
Firefighters responded to the property at around 5:30 p.m. on report of a waterflow alarm. Investigators determined that the cause of the fire was related to a pan being left unattended on the stove.
Building maintenance crews had turned off the sprinkler valve by the time fire crews arrived. Damage is estimated to be less than $5,000 and was contained to the microwave above the stove as well as the underside of adjacent cabinetry.
Water damage was minimal as each unit is equipped with its own sprinkler shut off. Building maintenance was able to use a shop vac for clean up.
The occupants of the residence did not need to be relocated and there were no injuries, according to Vaughan. The sprinkler system was restored to a working condition that evening.

An aerosol can exploded and one person suffered minor burns in a small flash fire at a northwest valley senior apartment complex Friday evening, fire officials said.
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue officials received a report at 5:22 p.m. of an activated sprinkler system at the Decatur Pines Senior Apartments at 6741 N. Decatur Blvd., located near Deer Springs Way, spokesman Tim Szymanski said.
One person suffered minor burns and was transported to University Medical Center, he said.
The fire was extinguished by sprinklers, and fire crews cleaned up the scene, he said.
Someone was using a leaking aerosol can and lit a candle in a bathroom, starting a fire that lasted only about one second, the department said.
The sprinkler system was activated, and water from the sprinklers seeped into other apartments, causing electrical issues, Szymanski said.
The American Red Cross of Southern Nevada is aiding eight people displaced by the fire, he said.

OKLAHOMA CITY -
Around 8 p.m. Wednesday night, Oklahoma City fire crews responded to the Wesley Village Retirement Home and found the sprinkler system going off, and flooding in many of the units there.
Well at first it was a trickle and then in a matter of minutes it was a gusher, said Arthur Copeland, who lives on the fourth floor of the Wesley Village housing complex.
Copeland called News 9 for help as soon as the building started flooding. We looked our floor over, and saw it wasn't necessary to evacuate our floor because it was going below us.
Residents took the News 9 crew inside to see some of the damage up close.
Most of the water had been cleaned up by the time the News team arrived. But, you could still see where it flooded the stairways and the ceiling tiles of the first floor, second floor and third floor.
It even caused the buildings only elevator to be out of order and caused water damage to at least one person's stove and kitchen.
Everything was gushing and coming down pretty fast, said Copeland.
The Oklahoma City Fire Department told News 9 they responded to a 911 call at the retirement facility Wednesday night, and found the sprinkler systems going off on the third floor, but there were no signs of fire or a gas leak.
They say they did find a stove that was left on, which was spewing gas fumes into the air.
