I would sure expect sprinklers to be near the generators. Generators
catch on fire too.  The question is if this was the case, did the
sprinkler heads open because of the fire, or from normal generator
operation. If the heads opened from normal generator operation then the
sprinkler system or the area use was designed improperly. Since we don't
know the details yet on the whys and what happened all we can do is
speculate.
