Fire crews responded to a report of water flowing through the ceiling of an apartment in a high-rise building in Stamford, Connecticut. They found water on the floor and traced it to a suspected broken fire sprinkler or pipe, likely in a closet or on a balcony level above. Crews checked several nearby apartments and utility closets on higher floors to find the source of the leak. Building maintenance staff and a keyholder helped provide access to apartments and the pump room. An isolation valve in the stairwell of one tower was shut to slow and stop the water flow. A fire marshal was requested to respond. No fire was reported, only a significant water leak from the building’s system.
