Fire in Multi-family housing with Fire Sprinkler Activation-2007
, ,
f
t.
,
This is a multi-family
apartment building with a
fire caused by cigarette
butts discarded in a gar-
bage can. The fire was
in the downstairs unit
shown in this picture.
The fire sprinkler system
activated, controlling the
fire before firefighters
arrived. This fire dis-
placed only one family,
and the repairs were ac-
complished in just a few
weeks, allowing the dis-
placed family to retum to
their home quickly. Few
of their belongings were
damaged or destroyed.

Fire Sprinkler Activations-Ashland, Oregon
Fire in Multi-family Housing with
NO Fire Sprinklers
This fire was caused by unattended cooking. The
tenant left oil cooking on the stove after removing
the french fries and taking them next door.
The fire, while it did not bum long, displaced the
tenant and caused smoke damage to most of their
personal belongings. The fire caused significant
damage to the cabinets and cooking appliances.
The fire was just beginning to penetrate the ceiling
when the fire department arrived.
The heat was hot enough throughout the unit that
the upper half of the vertical blinds were warped.

Fire in Multi-family housing with Fire Sprinkler Activation-2009
A fire started in the Southem Oregon University Family
Housing on Quincy. This unit was in the middle of
multi-family two-story complex. Each unit had two
fioors.
The fire was caused by a candle that had been left
burning approximately 24 hours earlier. The resident
had left town the previous aftemoon.
The fire sprinkler system controlled the fire, requiring
displacement of only this tenant. While water damage
occurred to this unit and the adjacent units, the dam-
age was far less that the smoke and char that would
have occurred if the fire had continued to bum while
the fire department was enroute, nollo mention the
thousand gallons of water lhat may have been used to
suppress the fire.
I
There was no lack of ignition sources in this unit,
or in many others to which we continue to pro-
vide fire response.

SFR Fires with no Fire
Sprinkler System
SFR with fire that started at
an air exchange unit in a
mechanical room. The fire
smoldered in the mechani-
cal room for many hours
before a neighbor reported
seeing smoke coming from
the eaves.
The fire caused about 3
inches of char to a main,
structural member. Smoke
traveled throughout the
home and into the attic with
limited charring in the attic.
~.. The soot layer throughout
. the house was so thick you
. D . could see every footprint
on the floor.
At last report, structural
engineering would be re-
quired, and even the eco
wood floors would need to
be replaced.
The fire department used
less than 40 gal
Ions of water on
this fire.
