KITCHEN FIRE EXTINGUISHED BY SPRINKLER SYSTEM
 A
kitchen fire in an apartment at the Aegis
Assisted Living facility on 1st NE was quickly
extinguished by a sprinkler system. The fire was the result of an item left
unattended on a stove burner. Though the heat
was enough to melt sections of the wall and the
microwave oven above, the sprinkler head doused
the fire and prevented its spread throughout the
apartment. “This clearly demonstrates how
residential sprinkler systems dramatically
decrease property damage and, of course, save
lives”, said Shoreline Fire Marshal Mark Bunje. Kitchen
fires are a leading cause of residential fires
and loss of life across the country. (4/12/2008)
