Investigators say the sprinkler system helped contain a fire at a Boone County, Kentucky laundry cleaning company early Tuesday morning.
The fire started just before 1:30 a.m. at the AmeriPride Linen and Apparel Service on
Industrial Road, just outside of Florence.
Officials say the blaze broke out in a machine used to lift laundry baskets of clean clothes to employees who fold them.
The flames spread to much of the clothes, but the sprinkler system quickly contained the fire until crews arrived on the scene.
There were no employees there at the time and no one was injured.
