CHICAGO, IL – Fire sprinklers stopped a mattress fire from spreading in a North Lawndale apartment building. A resident in the building contacted the Northern Illinois Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board through social media stating that she grew up a high-rise that had frequent fires and didn’t have sprinklers. “That’s where my interest came from. I’ve been following your page for about a year now. Last night, I witnessed how sprinklers can truly save lives and protect property. Thank you for bringing awareness to such an important but often overlooked topic!”
