DEADWOOD | Sub-zero temperatures followed by a Monday warming spell are to blame for a rash of new water line ruptures at Main Street businesses, officials said Tuesday.

Late Saturday, a 4-inch line serving a sprinkler system burst at the vacant Goldbergs building at 670 and 672 Main St. and gushed more than 100,000 gallons of water before being discovered more than six hours later. That break flooded basements of a half-dozen Main Street businesses.

At 5:30 a.m. Monday,fire crews responded to the Silverado, 700 Main St., when its fire sprinkler system burst near the casinos front entrance, saidDeadwood Volunteer Fire Department Chief Bill Glover.The system was quickly deactivated and water damage was minimal, he said.

At 10 p.m. Monday, an alarm sounded from the closed Eagle Bar, 624 Main St., when a water line serving its fire suppression system burst. The alarm was noticed by a Lead volunteer firefighter working across the street and was quickly reported to police, said Glover.

Police officers and firefighters responded to the Eagle Bar, which is for sale, and called the Spearfish Realtor who had listed the property. When it was determined that he was the only key-holder to the building and was at least a half-hour from Deadwood, Glover said firefighters forcibly entered the building.

The fire chief estimated that thousands of gallons would have been released by the time the key holder arrived, which led to the decision to forcibly open the door to minimize potential damage caused by the water, Deadwood Police Chief Kelly Fuller said Tuesday morning. The key holder arrived about an hour later and was informed of the actions taken and the damages present.

Glover said that when firefighters entered the building, water was pouring from the ceiling as if the sprinkler had been activated from a fire. The fire chief said there was about an inch of water on the floor and his men were able to shut off the flow within 10 minutes. Damage was confined to the Eagle Bar, he said.

At about 6 p.m. Tuesday, water reportedly had filled Stagecoach Gifts, 651 Main St., and was spilling out the rear windows of the building and mixing with five inches of new snow.

According to Don Schmitt, maintenance supervisor at the nearby Buffalo-Bodega, city workers had shut off water to Stagecoach Gifts by 7 p.m.

Deadwood's fire chief said he was not surprised that five days of sub-zero temperatures resulted in new breaks in water lines.

More Information about Fire Safety

As a society we are dismissive of the risks of fire. Individually, we think fires only happen to other people. We sometimes assume we are too intelligent to fall victim to a fire. This false sense of security is lulling us into making poor decisions regarding the protection of the lives and property we are responsible for. Fire sprinkler systems are not being installed in locations where they could and will save lives.

You never know when or where a fire will start in your home or commercial premises. Imagine if you could have a fire-fighter stationed in every room - 24 hours a day, ready to stop a fire the minute it broke out. That's what fire sprinkler systems are - instant fire-fighters.

Everyone has heard about fire sprinkler systems, yet few understand the amazing benefits they provide. Even less people realise that you can fit a residential fire sprinkler system in your home for about the same cost as fitting new carpets.

Fire Sprinkler Systems, Residential & Commercial Fire Sprinklers

Irrigation sprinklers are sprinklers providing water to vegetation, or for recreation, as a cooling system, or for the control of airborne dust. it is mainly used in areas that has shortage of water

Sprinklers that spray in a fixed pattern are generally called sprays or spray heads. Sprays are not usually designed to operate at pressures above 30lbf/in (200 kPa) (30psi "Pounds per square inch"), due to misting problems that may develop.

Higher pressure sprinklers that themselves move in a circle are driven by a ball drive, gear drive, or impact mechanism (impact sprinklers). These can be designed to rotate in a full or partial circle.

Rainguns are similar to impact sprinkler, except that they generally operate at very high pressures of 40 to 130lbf/in (275 to 900 kPa) and flows of 50 to 1200 US gal/min (3 to 76 L/s), usually with nozzle diameters in the range of 0.5 to 1.9inches (10 to 50mm). In addition to irrigation, guns are used for industrial applications such as dust suppression and logging.

Many irrigation sprinklers are buried in the ground along with their supporting plumbing, although above ground and moving sprinklers are also common. Most irrigation sprinklers operate through electric and hydraulic technology and are grouped together in zones that can be collectively turned on and off by actuating a solenoid-controlled valve.

Home lawn sprinklers vary widely in their size, cost, and complexity. They include impact sprinklers, oscillating sprinklers, drip sprinklers, and underground sprinkler systems. Small sprinklers are available at home and garden stores or hardware stores for small costs. These are often attached to an outdoor water faucet and are placed only temporarily. Other systems may be professionally installed permanently in the ground and are attached permanently to a home's plumbing system. An ingenious domestic sprinkler made by Nomad called a 'set-and-forget tractor sprinkler' was used in Australia in the 1950s. Water pressure ensured that the sprinkler slowly moved across a lawn.[1]

Permanently installed systems may often operate on timers or other automated processes. They are occasionally installed with retractable heads for aesthetic and practical reasons (making damage during lawn mowing or other maintenance less likely). These often are programed to operate at certain times of day or on some other schedule.

Underground sprinklers function through means of basic electronic and hydraulic technology. This valve and all of the sprinklers that will be activated by this valve are known as a zone. Upon activation, the solenoid, which sits on top of the valve is magnetized lifting a small stainless steel plunger in its center. By doing this, the activated (or raised) plunger allows air to escape from the top of a rubber diaphragm located in the center of the valve. Water that has been charged and waiting on the bottom of this same diaphragm now has the higher pressure and lifts the diaphragm. This pressurized water is then allowed to escape down stream of the valve through a series of pipes, usually made of PVC (higher pressure commercial systems) or polyethylene pipe (for typically lower pressure residential systems). At the end of these pipes and flush to ground level (typically) are pre measured and spaced out sprinklers. These sprinklers can be fixed spray heads that have a set pattern and generally spray between 1.52m (715ft.), full rotating sprinklers that can spray a broken stream of water from 612m (2040ft.), or small drip emitters that release a slow, steady drip of water on more delicate plants such as flowers and shrubs. use of indegenous materials also recommended..

The first use of sprinklers by farmers was some form of home and golf course type sprinklers. These ad hoc systems, while doing the job of the buried pipes and fixed sprinkler heads, interfered with cultivation and were expensive to maintain. In the 1950s a firm based in Portland, Oregon Stout-Wyss Irrigation System, developed the rolling pipe type irrigation system for farms that has become the most popular type for farmers irrigating large fields. With this system large wheels attached to the large pipes with sprinkler heads move slowly across the field.[2]
