[QUOTE="twoguns?, post: 2371054, member: 7012"] Actually thats a ..Room Furnishings... test UL listings are Very specific, the only thing they were looking at was the furnishings , Not the structure But WOW did you see that smoke developed in the new furnishings? It would depend ,somewhat on how your sprinkler was activated...by heat setting off each head? by smoke detection that shut down equipment and services( gas and electric? ) In a commercial setting a 2,000 cfm or (5 ton unit) Requires a smoke detector in the duct system ,because that amount of air movement could feed or even carry the fire to different areas (through the return) I think Most people would agree that Anything you can do to impede or extinguish a fire would certainly be a benefit. Be it training , properly placed smoke detectors/extinguishers, or a sprinkler system. Unfortunatly.. cost would probably be a Great determinator "As for the personal tragedies...they do pull at the heart strings. I educate my kids, even the 7 year old, and we have fire drills....including crazy dad advancing down the hallway shaking an unfurled bed sheet saying "I am a fire. What do you do?". Warms the heart to watch all three of them team up, open a bedroom, window, help each other out, and head to the mailbox. I'd like to learn more...I'm not completely opposed to the idea. I just don't want another mandate." And THIS [/QUOTE]
