The spread of fire. Takamo added: Fire... But one would question why would there be sprinklers through out a building, if the fire broke out in the kitchen, would they all come on? The answerer is no. Sprinklers are installed in "zones". If a fire broke out in the kitchen, then the sprinklers would operate in the kitchen, and the rooms adjacent to the kitchen as a preventative measure. Each of sprinklers have a "trigger" that with heat, they bend or melt so that the valve opens. When the remaining sprinklers on the circuit detect a momentary drop in pressure, they open as well. Zones have an additional measure as well. Zones usually over-lap each other in that each zone will have one sprinkler from an adjacent zone so that if in spite of the preventative zones release of water, and the fire spreads into that zone as well, then the one sprinkler from the next zone will activate the others in the corresponding adjacent zones. So...If the fire broke out in the kitchen, then the rooms surrounding the kitchen will activate. If the fire spreads into an adjacent room, then the one sprinkler that didn't activate will, to inhibit the fire from spreading to those rooms as well.

What can cause a winterized sprinkler system to start automatically during the winter season?
This question could have numerous explanations and all of them could be right. First of all , the location of the sprinkler system and the type of building it is in is the most important thing to consider. Is the building heated? Does the building have skylights? The first thing you have to exclude is any heat source. Ice buildup on a skylight in the right shape could magnify the sunlight and if its shining on the sprinkler system WA la! Another thing to consider is the buildings heat. Is a sprinkler close to a heat source? All of these things have to be excluded in your search for the answer.
