Solar panels apparently hindered aerial fire suppression efforts and this became a massive fire. But please also check out the second link (flickr.com) for a series of photos that shows VERY clearly why placement of exterior fire suppression system components can be so critical. We often wrestle with architects about where to put the backflow/FDC/PIV such as they may occur and I am always trying to push this stuff outside the limits of the height of the walls in case of collapse. In this fire several precast concrete panels fell - the pix tell a compelling story.
