Scott: No one is saying that this isn't 1/--- in a very large #. So what is the gain from NFPA spending it's limited resources to identify what was the cause of these rare occurances. Isn't there time/money much better spent doing good things that help save lives, oh I don't know maybe like Res. Sprinklers???? As a matter of fact while I agree, we need to improve reporting ON FIRES, this sprinkler head failure is an issue no fire dept. is equipped to make a determination on "Cause". Months or years later a lab may have a general idea of what caused the "Failure", but if you're watching so much NCIS or CSI that you forget that in the RW there is neither the funding or inclination to find out why.
NFPA could and should champion better data collection on sprinkler system performance.
