What's wrong with a "mixed" fire protection system?
For example; a sprinkler system in stairways and hallways leading to exit points.
Halon for non-inhabited areas like garages, mechanical/electrical rooms (where water would not be good).
Exterior sprinklers for hedge/roof/neighbours' fires/forest fires, and Co2 for bedrooms/living rooms/kitchens?
Some of these systems could be manually controlled like for exterior and roof applications, they could be turned on as a prophylactic measure. I bet there can even be an app for that, once everyone was outside and safe.

We should build them with Tilt Up Concrete panels. LOL Seems to be popular around these forums.

The high rise building in London caught fire from the exterior cladding igniting from a fire in one single suite.

That was a concrete building.
