#SeattleWA: A mattress #fire broke out in an assisted living apartment building, but the building’s #firesprinkler system quickly brought the #fire under control. Damage was limited, and no injuries were reported. #Firesprinklers control #fires, limit damage, and protect lives, especially for those who need extra help evacuating.

#ActonMA: When a kitchen grease #fire broke out in a multi-unit building, the #firesprinkler system quickly knocked down the #fire, helping prevent it from spreading to other units. No injuries were reported! This is another powerful reminder of how #firesprinklers protect people, property, and communities.

🔥 BIG BOX WORKSHOP IN PHOENIX! 🚒
We're kicking off a two-day Blue Card Big Box Workshop today at the Alan V. Brunacini Command Training Center in Phoenix, Arizona!
We're excited to have Shane Ray, President of the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA), joining us as we take a deep dive into the unique challenges of managing fires in large commercial buildings, warehouses, and distribution centers.
Not long ago, a 150,000-square-foot big box store was considered enormous. Today, fulfillment centers and warehouses routinely exceed 1 MILLION square feet!
These buildings are different. Their fire protection systems, life safety profiles, critical factors, and tactical considerations demand a different approach to incident command.
Over the next two days, we'll focus on:
🚒 Understanding fire sprinkler and protection systems
🚒 Identifying Big Box critical factors
🚒 Strategic decision-making and risk management
🚒 Division/Sector operations and tactical supervision
🚒 Applying what we've learned through realistic Big Box command simulations
The goal isn't simply to fight a bigger fire. It's to understand the building, work with its fire protection systems, and make better strategic and tactical decisions.
A big thank you to Shane Ray and the NFSA for their continued partnership and commitment to firefighter safety and education!

At approximately 7:47 p.m., South Adams County Fire Department responded to a structure fire at the Super 8 near I-76 and 88th Avenue.
Upon arrival, crews found smoke coming from a hotel room, with the fire contained to a single room. The building’s fire sprinkler system activated, helping limit the spread of the fire. Firefighters worked to control the situation and prevent further extension.
We thank our assisting agencies, Adams County Fire Rescue, Thornton Fire Department, and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, for their support and coordination.
This incident is associated with a separate law enforcement matter. The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is leading that investigation and will handle inquiries related to that incident.
