SYCAMORE, IL – Fire sprinklers stopped a fire from spreading at the Seymour Paint Company. The fire was caused by a paint can that exploded.
According to Sycamore Fire Chief Bart Gilmore, the building’s water and foam fire suppression system controlled the fire. Fire crews extinguished the remaining flames in under 30 minutes. Two employees were injured and transported to the hospital due to the explosion.
Chief Gilmore said the potential was very bad. “Luckily, they had an excellent suppression system. Luckily, we had a fast response time and the fire was suppressed before any real significant damage became a larger incident,” he said.
