Uhmm, you completely missed his point. He meant the fire houses don't have LPS - which is an interesting point and indicator, if true.

As did the commenter who thought someone might not install an LPS unless they got an insurance premium discount. No, the person asked about that because it is also a worthwhile indicator of how home insurers view both the risk of strikes and/or the probability of an LPS making an important difference in the whole scenario.

Until someone can produce data evidencing otherwise, I'm going with the reality that it's the gas lines that cause the majority of the damage in a strike on a house. Not the strike itself.
