"abschiebern" ist sicherlich fehl am Platz und sollte "abschieben" heißen

Sie stellten die Auslösung des Löschbereichs „Hauptbühne\" der Löschanlage fest und schieberten den Strang sofort ab.

They established/located the source of the activation/trigger of the "main platform" of the (fire) extinguisher system and shut off the sequence immediately.

not completely convinced of the final translation but we can use this as a trash draft and polish up

When x occurred, shortly after Y, the spinkler flow valve for the area was activated and, despite promptly shutting off the water feed, considerable water damage ensued in the main stage area.

cut the supply line off

Explanation:
"FYI: It is smart to have cut off valves at every water source (faucet, tubs and toilet) however, if you have to repair or replace a supply line anywhere within your home, you must cut the main water supply off. There’s a lot of pressure in those lines and it needs to be reduced before you start cutting into them." http://mobilehomeliving.org/plumbing-in-manufactured-homes-t...

I think "cut off the line to the water supply" is more natural.

trotz zeitnaher Abschieberung des Wasserzulaufs > despite prompt cutting off of the water supply

Nun zum Strang, auf englisch "line":
Wyehose appliance used for splitting one line into two discharges. Often a gated wye is used to allow and disallow water flow through the two separate discharges. Not to be confused with Siamese, which is used to bring two smaller lines together into one.
