I can't believe you could say such a thing, especially considering
that when we have a 4 head residential design we have NO such
increase. This isn't a WAG. It's a criteria intended to provide a
warm and fuzzy feeling.

and not 3000 sq.ft.) I don't remember exactly how many heads went
off but it
was less then the remote area. A lot of skipping though. Short
version,
the FD couldn't get a handle on the fire until the sprinklers were
shut off!
I'm thinking this had more value with the old style heads as far as
benefit
in controlling the fire.
