FM Global's Chris Wieczorek discusses objectives of fire sprinkler test burn

[seagreenguy]

I get that sprinklers can reduce environmental impacts from house fires. This is an angle I haven't seen much on in the past. Does anyone have data to say what the overall carbon impact of house fire is in contributing to climate change? This would need to consider both the fire itself, the potential methane from landfilling the waste, the construction of new house, etc etc. Analysis like this is critical in evaluating the relative importance of any green claim.
