  1. A sprinkler system really is such a great idea. While having a fire alarm is a smart plan, a sprinkler just ensures extra security. What if the fire were to start by the door of a room you are in? You would be trapped until the fire fighters could arrive and by that point it could be too late. I should look into updating my fire alarm system.
