O’FALLON, IL – A single fire sprinkler controlled a fire at the Dogwood Social House entertainment center and restaurant. When crews arrived, they found light smoke in the front windows and water flowing under a back door. Upon entry, firefighters confirmed that a sprinkler activated and stopped a fire inside a basketball arcade game from spreading. Firefighters extinguished the remaining fire with two pressurized water cans.
The business was under renovation when the fire occurred and is expected to open within the original timeline. No injuries were reported.
