They said we need a sprinkler head changed, once I replaced it I thought sure didn’t feel like this pipe was connected to anything and sure enough! Hmmm. That was a first for me. Definitely won’t work like that.

This Day in Fire History

April 4, 1949 – St. Anthony Hospital Fire/Effingham, IL (77 killed)
On this day in 1949 77 people, including 12 infants, were killed when a fire broke out at the St. Anthony’s Hospital in Effingham, Illinois. The fire broke out shortly before midnight and quickly spread trapping many victims on upper floors.

Although the cause of the fire was never determined, numerous safety deficiencies at St. Anthony’s Hospital were identified. The combination of the combustible building materials in the open corridors, stairwells, and vertical shafts, along with the lack of fire sprinklers, detectors, and alarms contributed to the large loss of life. In response, the governor ordered the State Fire Marshal to evaluate all state hospitals to identify and mitigate any fire hazards. This led to a nationwide effort by other hospitals throughout the country to improve their fire safety measures in order to avoid similar disasters. As a direct result of this disaster modern hospitals now incorporate numerous fire safety features to protect patients who cannot be quickly evacuated, including fire barriers, smoke compartments, and stairway enclosures.
