THe ones we use have some sort of copper slug that pops off when enough heat is applied to them. It takes a LOT of heat, i.e. fire, to get them to pop.
Our apartment heads have a water supply which goes to an alarm box which is monitored- if one pops, the alarm sounds and the fire alarm goes off, and the fire department reponds. If you get caught triggering a false alarm, God help you... (fire department charges are expensive!).
Each one triggers individually, unlike the movies. And the heads are quite expensive!
