Yup, that's the sad fact that most people don't realize. Despite
building construction standards most materials will deteriorate when
exposed to intense heat for a prolonged period of time. Having been a
full time firefighter for 28 years (now retired for some years) I'm a
strong believer in automatic sprinkler systems in all buildings
including single family residences. The NFPA standards are there and
have been for years. What needs to be done now is to convince people
that it's in their best interest to have sprinklers which would prevent
a hell of a lot of residential and other fire related deaths each year.

Do you wish to speak to the "flood the building" and
"water damage" myths?


Nah! The people who believe in that stuff have seen too many movies and
don't understand how sprinklers work.
