A Sunday morning fire broke out in a memory care unit at a residential care facility in Franklin, TN, with more than 200 residents and staff inside the four-story building.

200+ people protected. That's the system doing exactly what it's designed to do! Read the full story: https://www.williamsonherald.com/news/local_news/fire-sprinkler-system-helps-prevent-tragedy-at-franklin-residential-care-facility/article_b1d3afa3-1066-475d-ac1b-2766284fa88d.html
