Fire controlled to a single unit by the fire sprinkler system and extinguished by the fire department. This could have had a very different outcome if not for the fire sprinkler system. Does your building have fire sprinklers? High-Rise = High-Risk

Three people were hospitalized with minor injuries, and over 100 people were evacuated from a Dundalk senior living facility after a fire broke out Friday night. The latest: wbal.com/infant-in-critical-…
