of ignition was not identified, but the
fire activated a local alarm bell that
notified the fire department, and one

In a local newspaper report, the fire
chief cited the incident as an excellent
example of how home fire sprinklers can save lives and property.
Total losses from the fire were

dential garage. The neighbors heard
the alarm and called 911.
The single story wood-frame
detached garage, which was 20 feet
(6 meters) long and 30 feet (9 meters)
wide, included a concrete floor and a
basement. The home fire sprinklers
were part of an NFPA 13D system
that provided coverage for about 600
square feet (55 square meters).
The 911 call came in at 12:13 p.m.,

single-family home's garage
CALIFORNIA-Two sprinklers in
the garage of a single-family home
controlled a fire in the engine compartment of a car until firefighters
arrived to extinguish it.
The two-story wood-frame
house, which covered an area
of 2,400 square feet (223 square
meters), included hardwired smoke
alarms as well as NFPA 13D wetpipe sprinklers.
The sprinkler's water flow
alarm sounded locally, alerting
the home's occupants, who called
911 at 9:11 p.m. Firefighters arrived 2 minutes later to find that
the sprinklers had confined the
flames to the vehicle, which was
fully involved. They advanced hose
lines into the garage to complete
extinguishment. The interior of the
vehicle was heavily damaged, and
the garage sustained some fire and
water damage.
Investigators believe that a mechanical failure caused an engine
part to overheat and ignite.
The house, valued at $300,000,
sustained losses estimated at $8,000,
while its contents sustained $3,000
worth of damage.
