Movies Lied to You About Fire Sprinklers.

Why don’t all fire sprinklers go off at once?

Because in a typical fire sprinkler system, each sprinkler head responds individually to heat—not smoke or the fire alarm. When the temperature gets high enough, a tiny glass bulb breaks and releases water directly over the fire.

So no, one activated sprinkler doesn’t automatically flood the entire building. Movies lied to you.
