First and foremost, adequate protection is about proper clear space from brush, trees, and other combustible plants. No exposure sprinkler system will stop a giant wall of flame. If adequate clearance is maintained, the system might help by cooling burning embers that land on the structure. Water supply is a big concern, as these frequently fail during a fire because of excessive demand from firefighting.
