Sprinkler in the attic burst due to the cold and flooded 10 condos including my own. Great way to relax on a Sunday night, losing a battle to water rushing in from vent, sprinkler heads, lighting fixtures. Currently living out of a Best Western while they are drying out my apartment. Next step demo and restoration, yay.
Fire code in Canada, all new buildings need a pressurized sprinkler system. The pipe runs through the attic to a sprinkler head on the ceiling. But the dick head contractor did not insulate the pipe portion that was running through the uninsulated attic.
Oh and when the sprinkler is triggered only the fire department can turn it off.
