How did it sense fires? I guess heat transference along the steel cables connected to some kind of... bimetallic strip?

- tdeck 7y agoI was assuming the wires would simply burn/melt and go slack.
- hlieberman 7y agoI suppose... the fire would have to be pretty intense at that point to soften steel enough to slacken though. I'd have thought a fully engulfed house fire would be barely hot enough to do the trick, and by that point, nobody is putting anything out with a couple of buckets.
