MINNESOTA
Sprinkler contains dryer fire
in laundry room
Firefighters were called to an apartment complex at 10:50 a.m. by a central
station alarm monitoring company
after an automatic detection system
was activated by smoke from a fire in a
laundry room.
News reports indicated that the fire
occurred in a dryer on the second floor
of a three-story structure. The accounts
reported that a single sprinkler had activated and was controlling the fire when
firefighters arrived. Firefighters were said
to have removed the dryer and ventilated
the building to clear the air of smoke.
The fire department reported that
clothing inside the dryer ignited and
that the fire was confined to the dryer
until the door was opened, when
enough heat escaped to activate the
sprinkler in the laundry room.
The building was a wood-frame construction with a ground-floor area of
24,000 square feet (2,230 square meters).
The fire caused an estimated $25,000
in damage to the building, valued at
$3,970,000, and $5,000 in damage
to contents, which were valued at
$1,588,000.

ILLINOIS
Two die in residential explosion and
fire sparked by propane leak
Two residents were killed in a house
fire that was ignited when a newly
installed propane stove exploded.
Firefighters were summoned to the
scene by a neighbor's 911 call at 9:42 a.m.
Investigators determined that the fire
started in a utility room on the lower
level, where a propane stove had been
installed the previous day. An undetermined ignition source ignited propane
that was leaking from the stove.
