Pauline,
I do not have a sprinkler system in my home but I don't run a business from my home and there are only 3 dogs inside it.
Isn't it obvious to you that a coal burning stove should not be used in a large wooden building? And isn't it obvious that a business as well as it's products need to be protected from fire? If it is just one large building a sprinkler system wouldn't cost that much. Probably the profits from one litter of puppies.
I am not down on this woman, but I certainly hope that she had the foresight to purchase insurance and spends the money on the necessary items in a new building.
God bless you for defending a friend.
