An overnight fire broke out at a warehouse in North Topeka on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, causing an estimated $175,000 in damage. The Topeka Fire Department responded to the fire around 1:15 a.m. at Davin Electric, located at 2131 N.E. Grantville Road. Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and managed to contain the blaze within the warehouse. The fire caused $75,000 in property loss and $100,000 in content loss. Fortunately, there were no occupants in the warehouse at the time.
NEWS
In the early hours of Tuesday, February 18, 2025, Topeka firefighters were dispatched to Davin Electric, located at 2131 N.E. Grantville Road, following reports of a structure fire. The fire started in a large warehouse that contained materials essential to the company’s operations. Upon arrival, the fire crews encountered heavy smoke emanating from the building but quickly contained the blaze within the structure where it started. Fortunately, no one was inside the warehouse at the time of the incident.
Brett Conley, the owner and president of Davin Electric, expressed his appreciation for the swift response of the Topeka Fire Department, which successfully prevented the fire from spreading further. The fire caused significant damage, with the total estimated loss at $175,000. Of that, $75,000 was attributed to property damage, and $100,000 to the loss of contents stored in the warehouse.
While the fire’s cause remains under investigation, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of early fire detection. Traditional fire detection systems often alert personnel only once smoke or flames are visible. Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras, however, are far superior in preventing fires before they escalate. These advanced cameras are designed to detect heat anomalies early, alerting to potential fire risks before visible signs appear. This early warning system can help to minimize property damage, avoid the loss of valuable assets, and, most importantly, protect lives.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
