Okay, we did have those super-duper sensitive sprinkler ones too. They have those mini red bars in the middle of them, that if they get knocked out, that's how the sprinkler gets set off? Yeah, the third floor of the residence halls w/ the sororities in them got flooded b/c somehow (probably a helium balloon during rush! lol) the little bar got knocked out of place on the sorority hall on the 4th floor. It was a mess.
DeltAlum, you're right, I should have been more clear. We had a combination of both somehow. All I know is, if you had more than one person gathered in the hallways while smoking, those suckers would go off FAST. The university had to implement a rule that you could only smoke in your rooms, not in the hallways b/c of all the smokers that would set off the alarms on accident.
