you're looking at 150 psi coming out of a 1/2" or 3/4" orifice. That's a lot of water coverage. And a lot of damage.
In addition, that is the nastiest rusty funky smelling water around.... Anything around the water is beyond toast, but I suspect the smoke damage, especially since the auto chemicals and tires may have been involved, is the real destruction.

Former pipefitter here. I can 100% agree with this statement. Nothing worse than being in a lift and hitting trapped water from a drop.
As another poster above mentioned there are typically 4 or 5 systems in a store this size. Fused link or bulb type sprinklers in these systems will only activate when the indicated temp is reached. I have only seen 1 time where an initial water kick from a fire pump blew out additional heads.
