Fire controlled to a single unit by the fire sprinkler system and extinguished by the fire department. This could have had a very different outcome if not for the fire sprinkler system. Does your building have fire sprinklers? High-Rise = High-Risk
Three people were hospitalized with minor injuries, and over 100 people were evacuated from a Dundalk senior living facility after a fire broke out Friday night. The latest: wbal.com/infant-in-critical-…

On 9/20/29 a fire at the Study Night Club in Detroit, MI killed 22. It's believed the fire was caused by a discarded cigarette in the stairwell of the speakeasy. 2nd Floor windows were boarded & the fire escape was improperly installed trapping victims. #FireHistory #NeverForget
