With all the stuff going on in South Carolina last week, you would have thought that a great stop by a sprinkler system would have made the news, not in Philadelphia. There was a fire at Philadelphia Park, outside of Philadelphia last Wednesday in a stable with 25 million dollars worth of horses in it. A cheap box fan hanging in a stall caught fire from the fan motor. The plastic melted, the burning fan motor fell off the unit onto the straw on the floor and a fire started. A sprinkler from the dry system went off putting the fire out before the fire company got there. One horse suffered a singed tail and a blister on the back of one leg. That was the only damage, besides the straw on the floor. Not even the stalls had damage, except slight charring on one. Try to find this story in any of the local of city newspapers!
