Sometimes it feels that you never hear positive fire news stories. What we mean is that you don\u2019t see that many news stories about sprinkler systems saving lives and preventing fires from becoming smoky behemoths; you tend to see the opposite, especially this month with the Fourth of July. It seemed like wherever you looked there were stories of football players blowing off fingers or a faulty firework starting a fire in someone\u2019s backyard. It was a tough pill to swallow. So let\u2019s take the time to talk about a news story that showcases the strength of sprinklers!<\/p>\n

In Louisville, KY, a sprinkler system at a recycling facility prevented a fire from reaching its potential. WLKY reported<\/a>, \u201cThe sprinkler system is being credited for making what could have been a potentially bad situation controllable. Officials said that the fire could have been much worse considering the large inventory of cardboard and other paper products inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having a sprinkler system installed prevented that fire from getting out of control and burning down the building entirely, but it\u2019s not all about the building; at the height of the blaze, more than 80 firefighters were working to put it out. If a sprinkler system wasn\u2019t installed, the blaze would\u2019ve been stronger, which meant that more firefighters would\u2019ve had to fight it. That of course would\u2019ve put those firefighters in even more danger. There were also 18 employees in the building at the time of the fire. Now imagine if that fire reached its potential? We could be looking at some fatalities, but thankfully there was a sprinkler system installed.<\/p>\n
