This is a great story but we really need to, as I believe another forumite said recently, get these reporters talking about the what if had there not been a sprinkler. How do we get this into their collective consciousness? It seems that since the Fire Service has made a concerted effort to talk about sprinklers more of these stories mention the good work of the sprinklers and the tragedy when there are none, but when they're there there's always the water damage aspect emphasized (not in this story), the what is, rather than the potential devastation from fire, the what otherwise coupled have been. Somehow we need to get these points closely tied with the although there was water damage from the sprinklers the potential for greater to absolute damage and loss of life was averted at the cost of a few wet things.
