Sprinklers
Thing is, I went to school in the 1960s and my secondary school had
sprinklers all over it. Seems a bit odd if some still do not have them to
me, maybe it was very old.

A school has just gone up in flames in my area. Usual photos of it burning
inside whilst water is put on the outside. Usual cries for sprinklers -
but
these can be vandalised and could cause problems.
I know about dry risers - usually to Landing Hose Unions - but what about
a
simple array of pipes in the roof space with open nozzles. In the event of
a fire then the Fire Engine hooks up and dowses the fire from the inside
using the fixed nozzles - no need to enter the building. Notre Dame would
have possibly been saved if such a simple system was in place.
Any thoughts? It seems a compromise to a full sprinkler system but has the
advantage of not being automatic and able to flood the building.
