Frozen pipe triggers automatic alarm

The Cornwall Fire Department was out early this morning. A pipe leading to sprinkler system froze and sent water gushing through a Laundromat at 21 Quaker Avenue.

An automatic alarm brought help shortly after 6:40 a.m. Firefighters entered the building with a key, and were able to shut off the water. By 7 a.m. they were planning to return home as soon as the area outside of the Laundromat was salted.
