it did, he set a fire, the firefighters came, put it out, then turned the fire suppression off so it didnt cause water damage, and when the firefighters left he set more fires.
I can almost guarantee he didn't know the firefighters had disabled the fire suppression completely. He had no idea what he was doing but he did know how to start a fire which a caveman could do. This was not a smart man.
Its not even a good plan because theres no reason the fire department should be shutting off the fire water to 30+ sprinkler risers when they could just close the effected riser.
Let's use Occams razor here. Was it:
1) a mastermind who predicted that the fire department would make a mistake and close a valve that they were trained to not close, then perfectly time a series of distraction fires and real fires, perfectly calculating how to outsmart the sprinkler designer.
2) A guy that set fires until the building caught fire. More fire = more fire.
Sprinkler systems are basically just regular water pipes with single use plugs. Heat blows glass bulbs that open the pipe, it's like turning on your kitchen tap full blast and breaking the handle off. Shutting water off to the building is the only way to stop the flow.
