fire protection network of pipes and sprinkler heads that detects heat, controls or extinguishes fires by spraying water, and warns occupants, working independently of smoke alarms to activate only where needed for fast, localized response and minimal damage. Key components include water supply, pipes, valves, and heat-sensitive sprinkler heads (glass bulbs or fusible links) that break open to release water when a fire's heat is reached, typically around 155F (68C). 
This video provides a 3D animation of how a fire sprinkler system works:How it works:
Heat Detection: A fire produces hot gases that rise to the ceiling, heating the sprinkler head's heat-sensitive element (glass bulb or fusible link).
Activation: When the pre-set temperature (e.g., 155F/68C) is reached, the liquid in the bulb expands, shattering the glass, or the fusible link melts, releasing a plug.
Suppression: Water under pressure flows from the pipes, through the opened sprinkler head, and is dispersed over the fire area by a deflector.
Independent Operation: Each sprinkler head activates individually, meaning only those near the fire discharge water, preventing widespread water damage.
Key Components:
Water Source: Mains supply or tank.
Piping Network: Carries water throughout the building.
Sprinkler Heads: Heat-activated nozzles.
Control Valves: Regulate water flow.
Fire Pumps: Boost water pressure if needed.
Benefits:
Life Safety: Gives occupants time to escape.
Property Protection: Confines fires, reducing damage.
Early Control: Acts as the first line of defense.
