Cold temperatures continue to make their way in to Rapid City this winter, the Rapid City Fire Department wanted to remind you of the importance of protecting and maintaining your automatic fire sprinkler system. These systems are like all other wet pipe plumbing if exposed to extreme cold they can freeze. Since December 1st the RC Fire Dept. has responded to numerous frozen pipe incidents, seven of which were sprinkler system pipes that froze due to cold weather exposure.
During periods of extreme cold regularly inspect your home or business automatic fire sprinkler system, ensuring designed features such as heat and insulation are maintained.
Ensure that insulation is in place to protect piping next to exterior walls, in attics, or any areas not directly heated by the main heating system.
Keep the building temperature a minimum of 45 degrees to prevent pipes from freezing.
-Check heaters in foyers and entry vestibules to ensure they are set correctly and are operable. Use of these heaters is often part of the sprinkler system.
There may also be heaters in fire pump and dry pipe rooms (not all systems use pumps or dry pipes).
Ensure heat is reaching the entire building. Open doors to closets, storerooms, and hallways where sprinklers and sprinkler pipes are present.

A sprinkler system malfunction at Siloam Mission forced approximately 400 people out into the cold this morning.
Fire crews responded to the incident at 300 Princess St., just after 9 a.m. Crews found significant water damage in the building, brought on by a frozen sprinkler head in the medical supply room of Saul Sair Health Centre. There was extensive leakage into the basement, where staff stored donated food and clothing. The amount of damage to those items, and whether anything can be saved, is still being determined.
Initial reports indicate two to three pallets of food have been lost.
"Hopefully we will know soon if or how much of our food and donated items have been damaged by this," executive director Floyd Perras said, in a statement. "We are still investigating the cause and the extent of damage."
Quick-thinking officials at Siloam moved staff and patrons to a temporary location at 303 Stanley St., directly behind the Princess location. The kitchen and dining room at Siloam are still operational; the clinic and the clothing rooms have been closed indefinitely.
The mission lost a significant amount of medical supplies and may be faced with major renovations in the health centre. Perras is counting on the generosity of people during this holiday season to help the shelter get back to where it was.
"We will need to rely on the support of our donors and volunteers to get through this crisis," Perras said. "We still dont know the extent of the loss at this point and its quite a shock happening right before Christmas."

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.
