Sprinklers nearly put out fire before firefighters arrive

OAKLEY -- An automatic indoor sprinkler system kept a fire at an apartment complex for seniors from spreading, and fire personnel were able to evacuate residents before anybody was seriously injured, a fire chief said.

Two residents were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene but refused hospital treatment after the fire Monday at the Oaks Apartments complex at 59 Carol Lane, said Chief Hugh Henderson of the East Contra Costa Fire District. Fire crews were called to the blaze at 4:18 p.m. and found light smoke coming from a hallway in the complex, he said.

Several tenants were out of the complex or evacuating when fire crews arrived, Henderson said. Fire crews assisted those who needed help, he said.

Automatic sprinklers kept the fire contained to one room within a unit, Henderson said, and the water from the sprinklers damaged six other units, as well as an electrical room, a computer room, two bathrooms and a community room.

Henderson said investigators have not determined how the fire started.

Several artifacts at the American Museum of Natural History suffered minor damage when a fire on the outside of the building sent smoke circulating inside, activating the emergency sprinkler system, officials said.

The blaze started when maintenance workers were using a blow torch to repair an AC unit on the outside of the buildings first floor around 3:30 p.m.

One of the units filters caught fire, sending clouds of thick, black smoke circulating into the hall of Northwest Coast Indians, the FDNY said.

The pall activated the halls sprinkler system, which sent water raining down of priceless artifacts including several totem polls and other native American artifacts.

[The smoke] was pretty thick. I couldnt see across the room, said FDNY Deputy Chief Joseph Schiralli.

There was a lot of water that spilled into that area, so the damage was all water damage. Schiralli said three or four thousand people self evacuated from the Museum while firefighters went to work extinguishing the blaze.

The extent of the damage to the waterlogged artifacts was not immediately clear but museum staff insisted the they would be open for business as usual on Saturday.

We are very hopeful that the damage was minimal since the response was so quick and it was just smoke, said the museums senior vice president, Ann Canty. Were going to be assessing the extent of the damage.
