Since when do Lifts have water fire sprinklers in them?

I worked in a large building in 1992 that had sprinklers in the lifts way back then & they weren't new. That's about 26-27 years ago.

Bit hard to reticulate the water along with the cables.

There will be sprinkler heads in the pit and probably up the walls.

Rather than worry about sprinklers in lifts, I would be more concered with what the two blokes are "feeling".

EDIT
Rod. After reading responses, the answer to your question is, "before you were born" it seems.

Rod, would you like to rephrase your message in English so we can understand what you are on about?

I understood the post to be about a lighthearted observation / error in an ad. But reading the responses I am clearly wrong. It seems it is far more important than that.

Strewth the world must be in better shape than I thought if this is deserving of the attention it is getting. Lets lighten up a bit eh.

The question is not relevant to the forum rules - but yes, most lifts do have sprinkler systems fitted - but they never spray the occupants, they spray the lifting mechanisms above (or below) the lift cabin - and also spray the bottom of the lift well, where fires can start from accumulated flammable debris.

The sprinkler systems are designed to ensure the lift occupants don't get drowned, or even soaking wet, or covered in any type of fire extinguishing product.

And as Equinox's scan points out, any electrical components around lifts are sprayed with "C" class (electrical fire) dry powder or carbon dioxide.
Never use any water or foam fire extinguisher on an electrical fire, you are likely to get electrocuted.

Didn't secret agents 86 & 99 get trapped in one in the 60's and nearly drowned ? Looked pretty dangerous to me haha.
