FERRISBURGH The Ferrisburgh selectboard on Oct. 7 approved in concept adding sprinklers to the new highway garage that will soon be built on Little Chicago Road.

Road foreman John Bull said he expected the cost of the sprinklers to be around $40,000, and that amount was affordable due to savings elsewhere on the $1.05 million project. Board members said they would back the proposal if final estimates came in as expected.

Bull said ground would be broken in November, with a January completion date.

Ferrisburgh garage to get sprinkler system

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -

A Youngstown State University football player is facing a felony charge of vandalism for damage to a sprinkler system.

Witnesses say 20-year-old Michael Wheary of Lakeland, Florida was having a verbal argument with his girlfriend Sunday night, when he punched two holes in the wall at his room in Wick Oval Courtyard Apartments.

The wall was directly underneath a sprinkler system and YSU police say the force of Wheary's blows had appeared to have cracked a pipe in the system. Water poured from the apartment room, causing what police called more than $7,000 worth of "serious damage" to light fixtures, walls, carpeting and personal property of other renters in the complex.

Wheary, a junior, has been dismissed from the football team

Our print partner the Vindicator is reporting that the flooding caused approximately 90,000 in damages and that he is suspended from living in any university house while the case is under investigation.

Wheary was arraigned by video on Tuesday at Youngstown Municipal Court. Bond was set at 10 percent of $2,500.

Wheary has a preliminary hearing scheduled on November 20 at 10:00 a.m.

RACINE COUNTY (WITI) A woman being admitted into the Racine County Jail is facing charges after shes accused of setting off the sprinkler system and the fire alarms inside the jail.

Demetrice Taylor

32-year-old Demetrice Taylor of Racine faces one count of interference with firefighting alarms/firefighters, one count of criminal damage to property and one count of disorderly conduct.

A criminal complaint filed against Taylor says she was locked inside a cell on Friday, October 10th when the fire alarms and sprinkler system were activated in the Racine County Jails intake area. The complaint says Taylor was the single occupant of the cell making her the only person able to tamper with the sprinkler, causing it to activate.

When the fire alarm system is activated inside the jail, the elevators stop functioning and all normal operations in the jail cease until order is restored.

Because this incident occurred in the jails intake area, the entire intake area had to be locked down for safety and security, and multiple officers had to respond to the location and they were taken away from their normal duties.

The Racine Fire Department has to respond to incidents like this one but so that they didnt have to waste time and resources, they were notified immediately that this was a false alarm.

The complaint says police had to enter the cell and transport Taylor to a padded cell for her safety. Thats when the complaint indicates Taylor made a statement to the effect of tampering with the sprinkler system was the only way to get the attention of officers.

It is unclear at this time how much it might cost in labor/parts to replace and/or repair the damaged sprinkler.

Taylor is set to appear in court on these charges on October 30th.

Temple Firefighters fought two fires Saturday but a sprinkler system may have saved one of the buildings.

The first fire started around 8:00 Saturday morning after a woman smelled a burning smell as she was driving her car home. When she parked in her carport, she stepped out to check and saw fire and smoke coming from under the front of the car. The car and car port had major fire damages and the attic had minor damages.

Four crews responded and got the flames under control within 20 minutes. The fire caused $17,500 in damages and displaced the family of three who are now living with relatives. The fire was also ruled unintentional.

Crews also responded to another fire Saturday afternoon at the Lock Joint Tube manufacturing plant in Temple. When crews got there they found employees had already evacuated the building. When they went inside they found one fire sprinkler head flowing water close to machinery which had a small amount of fire underneath.

Crews put out the flames and credit the fire sprinkler system with keeping the fire from spreading. This fire was ruled unintentional as well and caused $5,000 in damages.

UPDATE @ 10:30 a.m. Oct. 11

The truck that was destroyed was a sewer department truck, not a public works truck, and the incident happened at the division of sewer maintenance garage, not the public works facility, according to a city official.

UPDATE @ 8:20 p.m.:

The sprinkler system in the City of Dayton garage at the public works facility worked as designed in containing the vehicle fire to the one heavy-duty truck, Dayton Fire Chief and Director Jeffrey Payne said.

All fire crews had to do was open the garage doors and vent the building on Ottawa Street because the sprinkler system had knocked out the flames by the time firefighters arrived, he said. That kept damage to the building to a minimum -- there was the partial melting of a plastic skylight. The skylights are designed to melt under high heat, the chief said.

There were four or five other trucks parked near the burned vehicle that would have been heavily damaged had there been no sprinkler system, he said.

An investigator was called to the scene as a matter of standard department protocol, as Payne said it appears no one was in the building when the fire erupted under the truck's hood.

UPDATE @ 6:43 p.m.:

The heavy-duty truck that caught fire inside a City of Dayton garage was destroyed, a Dayton fire official said, noting the Department of Public Works vehicle was worth an estimated $40,000.

MORRIS PLAINS A fire in a patient's bedroom at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital was quickly extinguished by firefighters Wednesday evening.

Firefighters responded to the 450-bed hospital on Koch Avenue at 6:18 p.m. after receiving a report of a smoke condition in one of the second-floor bedroom's in the F-wing of the hospital, Mount Tabor Assistant Fire Chief Bryan Crawford said.

Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters were notified that it was a working room-and-contents fire involving a wardrobe and dresser, Tabor said. In a room-and-contents fire, the blaze hasn't spread to the actual structure of the building, he said.

All patients in the F-wing were relocated to other sections of the hospital during the incident, Crawford said. According to the Department of Human Services' website, the hospital currently provides transitional housing for 60 individuals.

Crawford said the sprinkler system was able to limit the spread of the fire to the room itself, but extinguishing the blaze required firefighters to use a high-rise hose pack connected to a second-floor water pipe. Within about 10 minutes of arriving on the scene, firefighters were able to extinguish the fire, he said.

One of the biggest challenges, Crawford said, was ventilating the building using the HVAC system because none of the windows opened.

No injuries were reported during the fire, he said.

The cause of the blaze is currently under investigation by the Department of Human Services police, Crawford said.

Besides Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department, the Greystone Fire Department, Morris Township Fairchild Fire Department and Cedar Knolls Fire Department, Rapid Intervention Crew responded to the scene. Two basic life support units from the Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance squad also responded to the scene, he said.

The hospital currently in operation bears the same name and operates on the same campus as the now-shuttered Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital that's slated for demolition later this month.
