HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A commercial sprinkler system saved some work for Hutchinson firefighters Thursday night.
Firefighters were called to Uptown Hutch at 1500 East 11th at 9:34 p.m. for a commercial fire alarm.
There was no smoke showing outside the Ulta Beauty store when they arrived, but crews went into the building and went back to the back storage room where they found smoke.
The crew on scene pulled a line to the back of the store, but the fire had triggered the sprinklers and was out before crews got there.
Firefighters shut the sprinklers off and got the smoke and water out of the store.
Minor fire damage was done to the store. The fire is under investigation.
Reno County Emergency Communication and Reno County Emergency Management gave support to firefighters on this call.
