Fire Sprinklers Help Extinguish Fire at Tulsa Business

Fire sprinklers were key to extinguishing a fire at a local Tulsa business. In July, the business’ fire alarm alerted the Tulsa Fire Department of a fire at Lektron LED Lighting Technology in Tulsa.

When firefighters arrived on the scene they found smoke coming from the roof and smoke inside the building, News on 6 reported, but the fire itself was extinguished.

“The sprinkler system went off before we got here so that kept the fire in check. So the sprinkler system helped us out a lot,” Tulsa Fire Captain John Sawyer told the News on 6.

Firefighters reported that damage to the building was not extensive, and there were no injuries as the business was closed at the time of the fire.

The fire alarm and fire sprinkler system, installed by the Tulsa fire protection specialists at Mac Systems, had done their job in protecting this local lighting company from what could have been a devastating loss. Often companies never fully recover or even reopen after fires destroy their business. But as was the case with this fire, sprinkler systems can prove invaluable at saving a business in the event of a fire.

Firefighters were called out to the business just before 5 a.m. in response to the Tulsa fire alarm, news reports said. The Lektron company could depend on the fire alarm to alert emergency personnel of a fire, even in the middle of the night when no one was around to call the fire department.

Responsive commercial fire detection and suppression systems are crucial in preventing and controlling what could be otherwise be a devastating fire.

Mac Systems can design, install, inspect, and maintain the best fire alarm and suppression system for your particular business needs along with fully reliable alarm monitoring service and 24-hour emergency service, 365 days a year.

Just like with the Lektron company, business owners realize they’ve work too hard to let their company go up in flames.

Fire sprinkler systems are key to stopping a fire before it gets out of control, so make sure your business is protected with complete fire detection and fire suppression systems from Mac Systems in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
