Absolute Fire Protection’s sprinkler system installed at the Orland Park Granite City Food and Brewery in 2007 credited with saving the building after an afternoon fire.
Article for the Southtown Star gives the details:
An Orland Park restaurant and craft brewery was closed overnight following a Friday afternoon fire.
Fire sprinklers are being credited with mitigating damage and stopping the spread of the fire at Granite City Food and Brewery, 14035 S. La Grange Road. Officials said the fire would have caused significantly more damage if it were not for the sprinkler system.
Firefighters who arrived on scene about 4 p.m. Friday found smoke in the brewing room and a small fire that had been contained by two sprinkler heads. The fire was confined to an upstairs corner and away from the kitchen and dining areas. No one was injured, and investigators believe the fire was an accident.
The restaurant was expected to be open by 4 p.m. Saturday.

The U.S. Green Building Council awarded the Joliet Junior College (JJC) Facility Services Building a LEED New Construction 2009 (NCv2009) Gold certification – making the Facility Services Building the first of its kind on a higher education campus to receive this level of certification. Absolute Fire Protection, Inc. is a proud participant in the project providing the custom fire sprinkler systems for the 42,000 sqft facility.
Designed by Legat Architects and built by Gilbane, the Facility Services Building’s new mechanical and electrical systems resulted in a 42% reduction in energy use and an annual savings of approximately 37% in operating costs.
“The Facility Services Building really embodies JJC’s commitment to sustainable leadership,” said Larry Bacher, Gilbane’s project executive for the JJC effort. “The college used some of the most innovative methods available to reduce the building’s overall impact on the environment. With its high-performance technologies, the facility is showing the return on investment in terms of operational costs.”
Gilbane oversaw the procurement, installation and commissioning of all the LEED systems, working with contractors to ensure that they used LEED-compliant materials and submitting the documentation for all of the LEED construction-related points. The team also worked with JJC to lead a significant construction waste recycling effort.
