Here is the Journalists name that wrote the article, I like the fact he does not mention that the 2 occupying the home where able to get out safely which is the intent of the system design in the first place. It doesn't mention if the pipes in the ceiling were part of the domestic system as well. I would also like to see how they came up with the cause and reason so quickly, since the fire department was probably using 11/4 or 11/2 streams into the attic space, that I'm sure had nothing to do with the sure volume and weight of the water accumulating quickly in the attic space. I need to see the report, pretty piss poor Journalism.

Apparently water released after plastic sprinkler pipe melted is the cause of the accident. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/feb/19/local/la-me-0219-firefighter-201 10219 Joey Brown Fire Technology, LLC www.firetecheng.com 706-650-7730 _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
