Sprinkler break floods part of Bentley House

HERMITAGE — A broken sprinkler Friday afternoon flooded part of the Bentley House assisted living center in Hermitage, rendering about 12 rooms uninhabitable, said Hermitage Fire Chief Robert S. Goeltz.

Some residents’ family members were being notified to pick up their loved ones, he said.

Bentley House employees declined to comment and referred calls to the corporate office of Assisted Living Concepts Inc. in Menomonee, Wis. A message left there was not returned.

Goeltz said the center at 2400 Garden Way has a dry pipe sprinkler system. Sometimes, water leaks into the pipes and can freeze, such as in an attic, causing a break, he said.

The break occurred in the rear of the building and caused two ceilings to fall in, he said.

A city inspector visited the site and confirmed that only part of the building can be used, Goeltz said.
