Route 14 McDonald's in Crystal Lake temporarily closes due to problem with sprinkler system

CRYSTAL LAKE – The McDonald's on Route 14 in Crystal Lake is temporarily closed due to a problem with the sprinkler system, a Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department spokesman said.

At about 12:43 p.m. Friday, crews were called out to the McDonald’s, 551 Crystal Point Road, for an activated fire alarm.

While there was no fire in the building, a sprinkler head had activated and popped off for an unknown reason, the spokesman said.

The store was expected to open in a couple hours after the head was fixed, the spokesman said at about 2:10 p.m.
