I do not know what kind of system that is but typically, the fire alarms do not set off overhead sprinklers. Sprinkler heads have wax rings that are set off by the wax being melted by heat


Like I said, Im not saying your wrong, Im just saying that is a weird system if the lever set off the sprinkler

Yea agreed. If pulling fire alarms set off wide ranging sprinklers you'd end up with a crazy amount of property damage considering how often fire alarms are pulled. Not to mention have you ever been in a building when the fire alarm is pulled - including in schools? I have and I don't ever recall the sprinklers going off.

Really makes me wonder what happened. Would seem weirdly destructive to purposely flood the gym for a HS prank so I'd like to think it was an accidental byproduct of the class prank.
