Wal Mart Sprinklers

So following the Covington story, it sounds like the sprinklers went off throughout the store, instead of in the fire area only. Ruined alot of merchandise.
Don’t you think that the sprinklers ought to be zoned ?
You know, ole William McCrossen is the man that got sprinklers mandated.

Sounds like it would ruin just about everything except maybe the fake Crocs and basketballs.

Insurance companies will dictate whether they want to insure the entire merchandise or the entire building.

That's not how they're designed to operate. You fire protect the entire building not sections. Sprinkler heads are triggered by heat as well.

The store’s entire inventory suffered smoke damage, according to Brumfield, though the water damage was limited to the auto section. “The water sprinklers did their job,” he said.
All sprinkler systems in commercial and residential buildings are 'zoned'. You usually only see all sprinklers spraying (deluge) where lots of water is required, like chemical tanks in plants.

Thought this was a Kige thread at first

I thought smoke ruined the entire inventory, not water damage.
Either way, the sprinklers are definitely zoned in buildings that big. However, as soon as hot air/smoke/etc pop a sprinkler, every sprinkler in the zone goes off. Probably a good thing as to help prevent the spread of a fire

Walmart should install fire hose towers for use on the customers.

I miss seeing him appear on the nightly news at the scene of a fire. Dressed out in bunker gear with his gravelly voice and New Orleans accent while young revelers waved at the camera and frolicked in the background. Good times.

Was thinking they had changed "Greeters" to "Sprinklers" for Pride Month
