A Dalmation Day |
|
The Victoria Fire Department treated its guests royally at the Open House on Saturday, October 4th, 2008, with free toys and gifts and a tasty free lunch of hotdogs and sloppy joes. Highlight of the afternoon was a controlled fire demonstrating the difference between two rooms, one with an overhead sprinkler system and the other with no sprinkler system. The nonsprinkled room was fast into flame. |

The staged room without a sprinkling system went up into flames, while the room with the sprinkler system mainly suffered smoke and water damage, giving potential occupants a chance to escape. |
