Funny, but Halon is outlawed and having it around did seem to bother
them. It was replaced with some other gas system that i can't
remember the name.
It is a gas bottle with gas under pressure - they dont like getting hot
they become explosive in that case.
Nitrogen. I remember seeing an installation
with a whole row of compressed nitrogen bottles, looking a lot like a row of welding gas
tanks. It came with major warning signs about the danger to personnel when it goes off.
I think Halon is far less dangerous because it doesn't just work by displacing
oxygen, though the details escape me.
