Fw: [Histonet] RE: fire extinguishers

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

Be careful with Halon.  We at Ford used in in our server rooms, but we had
many hundreds of thousands of dollars of servers and a fairly large room.
If it is set off, EVERYBODY MUST leave the room.  Halon will NOT support 
life
(this is why it works as a fire suppressor).  So, along with the Halon, you
should have a good way to flush the Halon from the room before returning to 
it.

Actually I'm Lee, not Peggy.

Thanks Liz,

The guy that was in here today said we should use the Halon or Ansul 
Cleanguard extinguishers on any piece of equipment to reduce the damage from 
the ABC extinguishers.  I know we have Halon in the server room but I've 
never heard of having one in the lab itself. He was also talking about a 
price of $350 - $400.

Linda

We do, we have it located where our server is, its only supposed to be used 
on our server, we have regular A B C extinguishers in the lab.  The Halon 
ones are for computers and stuff like that.  They are not inexpensive, they 
cost about $185.00 each.  They are liquid that does not damage the computer 
equipment.

Does anyone have a Halon or Ansul Clean guard fire extinguisher in the lab? 
The company that does our sprinkler system has suggested that we have that 
kind.

Thanks,
Linda
