Based on the comments the video should definitely be updated.

As an ex-fire fighter and fire safety office for a large health care complex I cannot agree with the new requirement. Smoke kills people and not fire. Having a good fire safety program and hard wired smoke detectors (in sensible locations, not outside washroom showers) is great. Statistics are that 90% of the time a fire starts a sprinkler will extinguish it and it will accomplish this with less than 4 heads being activated. But then you have to deal with things like people stacking items to close to the sprinkler head causing it to be inaffective or people placing something around it. I think that the code should focus more on smoke detectors in the CORRECT location as to not cause false alarms. If to many false alarms occur then the detector just gets removed. Also during my many training sessions (approx 3000) most people have no idea how a sprinkler head operates and think that all heads are activated if there is a fire which is totally incorrect. Only the head where the fire is gets activated.
Have a good day.
