If exposed to heat that is extreme an individual sprinkler head is installed by the fire protection companies can go off. Each sprinkler head has to feel that heat to go off. Sprinkler systems cannot be damaged by water.

The valve connected to the supply of water is part of the sprinkler head. Its cover is transparent tube. It is filled with sugar alcohol, and it expands when there is a great upsurge of heat.
