The majority of deaths are from smoke inhalation, not fire or heat. Why not require all buildings and contents be constructed of non-combustible materials? Rule #1 - Remove the source of combustion. That would CERTAINLY reduce the incidents of fire related injury.

I am sure that "Peter the Plumber" will appreciate the added business. But old Pete doesn't always get the hot water pipe plumbed to the hot water faucet. (I have a crossed faucet in my bath which always surprises guests!)I would not bet on his doing a better job on a sprinkler system.

Smoke/heat detectors are extremely effective when properly installed and maintained. They are cheap and they work!

Detection systems do malfunction. Imagine the thrill of a thorough dousing of your antiques, books, family photos, etc. That should help the water damage remediation business, not to mention mold.

These people are NUTS!
