Which statement about home fire sprinklers is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In most instances, sprinklers control fire advancement within a few minutes. Unlike what is commonly depicted in movies, only the sprinkler closest to the fire activates, spraying water directly on the flames, which helps contain and extinguish the fire quickly. The other sprinklers will not activate unless the fire spreads to their area of coverage. Smoke does not activate sprinklers. While there may be some water damage from the activated sprinkler(s), it is usually less than the damage caused by a full-blown fire.
