I apparently miss the logic of installing auto sprinkler system in a house. :|

It's more common in offices -- in short, it's a form of fire protection. There are downsides, though -- there have been many instances where a fire detector gets triggered accidentally and people's computers, paperwork, etc. are damaged.

Yeah, but installing sprinkler in houses defeats the pupose, right ?
People trying to protect their asset from fire .. by risking destruction by water. :| Oops, I forgot that I should not smoke inside the house, sorry honey ... did I burn your brand new 60" plasma TV ?

Did this get broken off from another thread?
I have never seen a stand alone house with sprinklers. I have seen a few apartments with them though.

Yes, sorry; from here, although that backlink won't help much. 
In retrospect, you're totally right about apartments; I've seen it in quite a few.

The last house I owned in New Hampshire had a sprinkler system.
The town passed an addition to their building code that all new construction of any type had to have sprinklers.
The only good thing is a slight reduction in insurance rates.
The townhouse we live in now has sprinklers too.

Uh, there is actually a regulation to force people to install sprinklers inside houses/apartments ? I thought that the smoke detector is enough.
p.s. and I thought that we are save, with Kati being away and Steve C. being asleep
