Original information on Saturday’s fire
Firefighters responded to a fire at the medical facility on Red Creek Drive Saturday morning after smoke detectors and a water flow alarm were activated.
Henrietta Fire District companies got to the scene just after 8:30 a.m., according to a press release from the fire district. Units arrived to find the building being evacuated and smoke visible inside.
Firefighters say they quickly located a fire on the first floor that was being held in check by the building’s automatic sprinkler system. The fire district says crews put out the fire and that everyone got out safely.
The Brighton Fire Department assisted on scene, along with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and CHS Mobile Integrated Healthcare. Gates Fire District covered a serious medical emergency in Henrietta while crews remained committed to the incident.
“This incident serves as another reminder of the critical role automatic sprinkler systems play in protecting lives and property,” the fire district said.
