Years ago, I took a couple fire protection courses.
Sprinklers actually greatly reduce damage, as well as
reduced safety (fire deaths). Proper sprinklers open up only
on the fire. Each head has a heat sensor, which melts or
breaks at a certain temp. My courses were in the early
1980s, but they were conclusive that sprinklers greatly
reduce damage.

I'm curious, if you can provide some reputable web pages
that support what you've written.

A sprinkler system will also cause far more damage, overall.

Are you stupid? Do you know how much damage a sprinkler
going off will cause?
Most of the damage in a fire, that's put out by a FD is
caused by water. If
they have to use more than 50gal of water the house is
usually a write-off.
