That's impressive because I've heard the stable fires tend to be fast moving.

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!
