I once had a Hollywood come to Seattle issue with the rented soundstage. They were afraid the lights would set off the sprinks. This had apparently had occurred before. Their solution was to have me come in and drain daily, then refill. Obviously wouldn't help, and maybe even exaggerate. We did change to high temps while they were using the facility and then switched back after they were done. They also hired a security guard for security issues and so we added fire watch to his duties. I presume their piecemeal plan has to do with not displacing more the two residents at a time.
