HOUSTON A hotel sustained only minor fire damages early Monday thanks to a working sprinkler system on the property.

According to the Houston Fire Department, a small fire started in a third-floor room of the In Town Suites on Branch Forest at Highway 6 around 2:30 a.m. A maintenance worker who occupied the room rushed out when the fire started and asked bystanders to call 911.

By the time HFD arrived to the scene, the fire had already been extinguished by the sprinkler system inside the room.

The room sustained minor smoke and fire damage, and two rooms below that room also sustained water damages from the sprinklers.

There was no word on what started the fire.
