Sprinkler systems are the only method of fire prevention that is reliable and effective. No one has ever died in a fire in the US where there was a working sprinkler system. Other preventive measures like fire extinguishers, fire alarms, and fire drills may help to save lives, but they're not reliable or 100% effective. Only sprinkler systems are (to date) 100% effective at saving lives. In my opinion, anything else is just tinkering at the margins.
