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.

I have pictures some where from when one head on an R 13 system went
off in a town house kitchen and destroyed it and 2 rooms below it with
water. because some one put something in a microwave they should not
have.
Sprinklers do work but they also cause significant damage as well.
thats why many insurance company's will increase your premium on home
owners insurance if you have sprinklers.
have a customer with2 high end homes put sprinklers in both and turned
them both off after having water damge from frozen pipes.
