Well, not saying that I'd be camping out in there with a fire going... just saying that it's not a death sentence if you get locked in.

Without ANY oxygen, you can't stay in there more than a minute. On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 12:14 PM, Joe Heaton <[email protected]> wrote: We use an Inergen system here.

Even our server room that was built in 1986 had a fire suppression system in it from the beginning. Was updated a couple of years ago from Halon to FM something.....whatever the more current one is. Anyone ever been in a room where Halon has been released? The reason we had to replace it was because of a glitch in the system that caused it to release whenever the power went out & came back on. Actually 'release' is such a nice quiet, calm word, it's more like an explosion. That happened twice and management decided it was cheaper to replace the system than to keep refilling the Halon tanks.

"fire" is not a good search term and I am having trouble finding the link to the pictures. Does anyone still have the link or remember who sent the original e-mail?
