As of three years ago there had NEVER been a fatality reported in a

Uh, both World Trade towers had sprinklers.


I'm almost sure the Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
had sprinkler units.

After the MGM fire circa '87, 74 souls lost, Las Vegas became a

Locally, a city ordinance requires sprinklers in any home that is
5,000 sf - even a single story home of that size.
