California Agent... without getting into a Pissing Match with you... I do live in California, and not only did I spend almost 20 years living in Southern California I also spent 8 years as a firefighter and paramedic. Please don't pass judgement on someone you don't know. I didn't mention having a garden sprinkler outside my home, I mentioned having an external sprinkler as a fire prevention system at my own home, it delivers over 70 gallons of water per minute and creates a defensible perimeter of well over 300' in diameter and can apply the fire retardent thermo gel or class A foam. It uses the water from my pool which gives me over 6 hours of continuous dousing and is seconded by my pond water availablity. It was created by a company that has firemen on staff. Yes I will agree that there is no 100 percent guarantee for any type of prevention, but I am certainly doing my job as a homeowner in creating defensible space and assisting in the utilization of resources if disaster were to strike my community. It's not a bad system, you should check it out

You know the old proverb... an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
Best of luck in your career as an agent.
