The Green Bay Metro Fire Department credits an automatic sprinkler system with containing a fire that broke out at the Hilton Garden Inn. Crews say they were called to the hotel just after 1 am Sunday. When they arrived, firefighters say they found moderate smoke on the first floor and saw occupants evacuating the building. Crews say they found the fire in a commercial laundry dryer on the first floor and that the fire was kept in check by the automatic sprinkler system. Firefighters say they were able to extinguish the fire quickly and afterward ventilate smoke from the building. Occupants were allowed back in the building once the sprinkler system was shut down and residual water cleaned up.
