At 01:56 Saturday morning, November 2nd, Sedona firefighters were dispatched to the Sedona Winds assisted living facility located at 475 Jacks Canyon Rd. for a fire in one of the residential units. “The automatic fire sprinkler system had extinguished most of the fire before we arrived,” said Captain David Rodriguez, “limiting fire damage to the one room.” The fire was discovered by a nurse’s aid when the sprinkler system activated and triggered the building's fire alarm system. The aid was able to evacuate the resident from the room and unplugged the HVAC unit which appeared to be the cause of the fire. “This was an amazing success story,” said Fire Marshal Jon Davis, “A working fire sprinkler system, combined with a well-trained staff and a quick response by firefighters resulted in the best possible outcome.”
