Michael Formica, chief environmental counsel for the National Pork Producers Council, alleged that installing the NFPA-recommended fire protection systems would bring "staggering costs in the billions of dollars," said that many farms lack "sufficient water supply available to service an automated sprinkler system," and even that installing such systems and "the sprinkler water itself" would spread disease, Rosenberg recalled.
In truth, the existing water supply system serving the animals at any farm could double as a sprinkler system just by adding heat-sensitive sprinkler heads. No more water would be needed than the water already in the supply lines.
