The nightclub fire that didn't kill anyone.


Thirteen years ago today (2/17/2003) there was a fire in a nightclub that almost nobody knows about. 

Flash forward......The Station Nightclub burned down and killed 100 people, injuring hundreds more (physically and emotionally) 13 years ago this Saturday, Feb. 20 (2003).

Three days before that, there was a fire, in a nightclub, caused by pyrotechnics inside, that lit the combustible sound foam on fire (EXACT SAME SITUATION as the Station fire) in Minneapolis, MN. 
Here is a link to the story:

Nobody died. 

Why?

Because the fire sprinkler system DID IT'S JOB!

You've probably never even heard about it. I can almost guarantee that. 

Because when fire sprinklers do their job....buildings don't burn down. And when buildings don't burn down, and people don't die, it doesn't make a good news story. 

A properly designed, installed, serviced, inspected, and maintained fire sprinkler system has ONE job....to save lives and property. 

Don't be part of the next big news story about a fire that kills someone.
