The bizarre incident is detailed in a report prepared by the Conway Police Department, which, as seen below, photographed the aftermath of the June 6 incident. According to police...story follows

Re: Now... Go Break the Windows
I work for a sprinkler company, you'd be amazed at the shit we hear. The same thing happened to the Hampton Inn, Tullahoma, TN about 3 weeks ago. We had to shut the system down. Caller told the person to 'pop the sprinkler head above you to protect yourself.' He did, and got showered with 50 gpm of fetid sprinkler water for about 5 minutes before he realized what was up. Estimated damage to the hotel is over $100K. I'd bet money that it's the same guy. As long as he doesn't say he works for my company.

Wow,
"....At this point customer Rusty Brown came into the lobby to assist Bergmann. Brown identified himself as an incident commander and Bergmann gave him the phone. The caller then proceeded to tell Brown that the exterior windows had to be broken in order to reset the alarms and keep the sprinklers from activating. At this point Bergmann and Brown began breaking the lobby windows with a fire extinguisher...."
Definitely an "incident commander" that I would not want anywhere near an incident.
