The Mountain Top Eagle reports that Capt. Krout of the Wright Township Volunteer Fire Department, Pennsylvania, is rebuilding his home lost to fire last year; this time it will be equipped with fire sprinklers.
While the family was out of town on Black Friday last year their home was felled by fire. When they were planning to rebuild their home, they made a decision to install fire sprinklers.
