You said they are not designed to handle multiple fires. If what you say is true as a designer of fire suppression systems, then you would know they are and should be able to handle those kind of scenarios. I didn't say NFPA 25 is about design criteria. I referenced it as this code would be integrated part of the maintenance and operations of the system. Perhaps the water system was overwhelmed that wouldn't surprise me. But the guy lighting fires and it became a total loss seems fishy. Anyway the place is gone and that's enough debate on the internet about sprinklers for me. Cheers
