The initial call made was a phone alarm for the sight of smoke from the building. While enroute dispatch received the water flow alarm for the sprinkler activation.

Did someone respond, because the sprinkler when off? Was the fire extinguished, not by the sprinkler, but by the responding dept. because the sprinkler went off. Assume this was a 13R system? No lives lost, property damage minimal. THAT'S A SAVE!! It not only could have been a lot worse, it would have been a lot worse without the sprinkler going off. How long before someone noticed it if not for the sprinkler? Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
