On July 3, 2012 at 1:09 am, the Middlebury Fire Department responded to Middlebury College for a report of a Sprinkler going off in a dorm room. Upon arrival, the Engine 3 crew found a sprinkler tripped due to a cloths hanger hooked to a sprinkler head. This minor mistake cause a lot of water damage to the first and second floor of Stewart hall. This is a reminder to all of us that sprinklers are for life safety and fire suppression, and for no other reason.
