My first fire.

EDIT: IM THE WELDER.

Sprinkler system saves Mill Valley house
Staff Report
A sprinkler system was credited for helping snuff out a fire in a Mill Valley house early Tuesday.
The fire, which may have been caused by construction work, was reported at 12:14 a.m. at 262 Summit Ave., said Mill Valley fire Capt. Michael St. John.
When firefighters arrived they found the vacant house filled with smoke and the interior sprinkler system operating. The fire was extinguished within 20 minutes, St. John said.
Because of the sprinkler system, fire damage was limited to the bottom floor and a wall and ceiling area, St. John said.
Since the late 1980s, several cities in Marin County, including Mill Valley, have required all new construction and major remodeling projects to include sprinkler systems, St. John said.
He said the cause was still under investigation, but evidence points to combustible sheeting that might have ignited during exterior welding. The fire smoldered for about 10 hours before igniting, St. John said.
