Other anecdotal evidence, a man was frying chicken in an apartment in Truckee CA, a fire started in the grease, the sprinkler head was stupidly over the cook top and there was an explosion killing two and severely injuring two more, I linked the story 10 years or so ago. I used to eat lunch at a hamburger joint in Moraga CA while I was building a house there, one day when I showed up there was a big crowd gather around windows were covered with plastic and those big dehumidifier fans were running, there was no fire but a sprinkler went off during the night flooding two restaurants, several months later after the restaurant was rebuilt I asked the manager what happened, she said a HVAC unit overheated in the space between the dropped ceiling and the roof setting off the sprinkler below. Damage was somewhere between 1 and two million dollars, by getting the mold remediation people in immediately there was no mold, but remediation and remodeling cost that much, I linked that story at the time as well. BTW, when the restaurant was rebuilt there was much less seating, when they rebuilt they had to meet accessibility standards reducing the seating and profits in the restaurant, I stopped going there since there were long lines at lunch time.
