**** the moaning *******s. This is good thing.
I'm fitting sprinklers in my gaff and it's not so much to save my
life, although that's important enough; it's so that I don't have to
stand at the side of the road watching my house burn to the ground
while the local volunteer fire brigade get their act together.
I don't mind clearing up some water damage - who gives a ****e about
that if the majority of the house is intact.

Our smoke detectors are very sensitive.

Sprinklers arent.

Would sprinklers be triggered by the same mechanism,
resulting in a wet house whenever the toast is burnt!

Nope. I've worked in plenty of places with sprinklers and that doesn't
happen.
