An overnight fire at the Fresno County Office of Education (FCOE) building in downtown Fresno triggered the sprinkler system, causing flooding on the first floor and knocking out power to the building.

The small fire started just after 3 a.m. in the electrical room. The cause of the fire is unknown.

The FCOE and the Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU), located on the first floor ofthe building, remained closed Thursday while crews worked on water damaged floors.

"This is the origination point of the fire," says Jeff Becker, director of facilities, while pointing to an electrical panel in a room located on the first floor. "It was extinguished quickly by the one sprinkler head in the room."

Only one sprinkler went off because the system is triggered by heat, and the fire was confined to one room.

But a single sprinkler was enough to send water flowing from the electrical room throughout the first floor.

"The sprinkler head in a typical scenario puts out about 15 to 30 gallons a minute. It was probably expelling for 10 to 15 minutes at least," says Ron Stogdell, a battalion chief with the Fresno Fire Department.

Fire crews say the water streamed for 75 feet in each direction of the sprinkler.

Operations at the FCOE were limited Thursday while cleanup efforts continued.

"We do have staff that we had to release. There's also staff that we've relocated to other areas and staff that are working off site," Becker says.

Fire, Flooding, Power Outage at Fresno County Office of Education

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- An electrical fire wiped out power to two downtown businesses early Thursday morning, tripping the sprinkler system and causing a major flood.

The fire started around 3 a.m. in the electrical room inside of a building located at the corner of Van Ness and Fresno Streets. The eight story structure houses both the Fresno County Office of Education and Educational Employees Credit Union.

When firefighters arrived, they found hundreds of gallons of water spilling out onto the street through the front doors.

Fresno County Office of Education facilities director Jeff Becker said an aging electrical panel maybe to blame for sparking the fire.

"The electrical panels are original to the building so it's 1970's vintage so we'll be able to upgrade those at this point, but we'll also might have a hard time finding some parts for them," said Becker.

The outage forced about a hundred employees to be released or relocated, while restoration crews worked to remove about two inches of standing water from the first floor.

"Computers, phones, lights, air conditioning aren't functioning at this point so we've relocated staff," said Becker. "We've got people on the patio, in the lunch room."

Kevin Kelley of Belfor Property Restoration said workers put down an anti-microbial solution to prevent mold from forming on the vinyl.

"We have about 3,500 to 4,000 square feet of the building affected so we had to extract the water with our equipment," said Kevin Kelley of Belfor Property Restoration.

Just before noon, a backup generator was brought in to temporarily restore power until a more permanent fix can be made.

New Droplet Sprinkler System Leverages Advanced Embedded Processing to Cut Household Water Consumption in Half

IRVINE, Calif. Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced that its low-power applications processor is the technology behind an innovative new product designed to dramatically reduce water consumption. The Droplet Robotic Sprinkler leverages real-time data from more than 10,000 weather stations, millions of square miles of soil samples and comprehensive plant biological information to make intelligent decisions on when, where and how much water to deliver. Broadcom's cost-optimized, low-power BCM2835 provided the processing performance and low power required to deliver this industry first innovation. For more news, visit Broadcom's Newsroom.

With water rates doubling in the US and a serious drought in many areas, consumers are seeking ways to conserve water and reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Easily configured via Wi-Fi on any mobile device, Droplet can cut overall household water use in half, while reducing sprinkler system consumption up to 90 percent. In addition to substantial consumer cost savings, each sprinkler system has the potential to save thousands of gallons of fresh water per year. Enabled by Broadcom's low-power, single-chip media processor, Droplet also dramatically reduces energy costs, consuming on average just 30 cents per month in electricity.

"Droplet is the world's first smart sprinkler system that combines the latest technology in robotics, cloud computing and connected services to transform the way sprinkler systems function. Being first-to-market was a critical requirement and provides a significant advantage in the consumer market," said Steve Fernholz, Droplet Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Broadcom's single-chip solution provided the intelligence and straightforward development platform we needed to get to market quickly with an innovative product that will ultimately benefit consumers and the environment alike."

The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving significant growth and opportunities in a variety of end markets segments and analysts expect the home automation market to reach $16.4B by 2019(2) as consumer demand for automated control of the home continues to rise. Broadcom's single-chip solutions provide leading IoT innovators with the advanced embedded ecosystem needed to significantly reduce time-to-market while lowering overall system cost and power consumption.

"The Droplet Robotic Sprinkler is a prime example of how our low power solutions are inspiring innovation in a broad spectrum of products and market segments," said Leo Azevedo, Broadcom Associate Product Line Director, Mobile & Wireless Group. "Our low-cost, highly integrated, power-efficient chips and open source software provide the embedded community with the low-power profile and ease-of use needed to get to market quickly."

Key Features: Droplet Robotic Sprinkler

-- Combination water timer, smart controller and targeted sprinkler head -- Easy to set up and manage via smartphone, tablet or laptop -- Advanced logic leverages real-time weather data, soil information and plant species data

Key Features: Broadcom BCM2835 Applications Processor

-- Optimized for use in mobile and embedded applications -- Low power design with dual-core VideoCore IV multimedia co-processor -- Simplified development enabled through open source community software

"This building was built in 1969 and the codes in 1969, at that time, didn't dictate that that would have to happen," said Jack Mlnarik, City of Oconto Fire Chief. The school was also grandfathered into not having to keep up with other fire code changes, including installing a smoke detector in the bathroom.And while the school faces millions of dollars worth of damages and repairs, getting a sprinkler system isn't part of that cost. "What they're going to do is restore it back to the 1969 building plans," said Mlnarik. "When you do that then you just have to restore it to what the plans were at that time." The school district says student safety is a top-priority and will look into getting a sprinkler system in the future. "That's one of the things that i think our school district will look at now during this renovation," said Dr. Sara Croney, Oconto Unified School District Superintendent. "Is that something we need to add into a referendum because it's a half a million dollars." A previously planned referendum was scheduled for review at Monday's school board meeting, but officials will now look at adding the cost of a sprinkler system to that referendum first.
