Good night, what a delightfully eloquent piece of journalism!

Not only double-extended but multi-room-single-head coverage as well. That head covered half the theatre.

Oh, brother..............

  You really have to hand it to the LSU newspaper.  Their writers are
getting a good start on being as absolutely clueless as their
professional peers when it comes to fire protection.

Sounds to me like that sprinkler is covering a fairly large area.  Maybe
there's a new manufacturer down in Baton Rouge who makes double extended
coverage sprinklers?

Golly!
