...Interesting overview of fire damage.

I remember many years ago spec'ing a machine room at BU and coming to
loggerheads with the VP of building and grounds.

He (well, their rules) wanted low-temp sprinkler triggers, I wanted
the high-temp ones (I forget but I think 135F vs 175F.)

Me: I'll have over $2M in electrical equipment in that room!

Him: I have $20M in building surrounding your machine room, I win!
