Nope..heat is necessary to sustain a fire...so I doubt that would have
much effect 8^) 


Thanks,

Tommy,

The Briefs that are written on paper are normally written by lawyers.

And, most politicians are lawyers.  So, maybe all the hot air will put
the 
fire out.  :-)



Thanx,

Nick

Boxers are great but I doubt they could put out the fire...briefs are
written on paper so I'm sure that wouldn't work... 


Thanks,

                 >> When the alarm goes off -->> LEAVE!

About 5 years ago, we modified the existing water sprinklers in our
computer
room and added an Inergen system (Nitrogen, Argon, Carbon DiOxide). Now,
the
water pipes are not charged until after the Inergen system discharges
and
then the sensors still think there is a fire.

We had a situation where the building fire alarm triggered and we all
left.
The fire dept came and requested my manager and sys admin accompany them
back to the computer room. They had not dealt with our type of system
before. The main fire alarms were still going off while manager, fire
chief
and fireman entered the computer room to look for the problem. The main
fire
panel said the problem was in our computer room, but there was no smoke
or
flame. Sysadmin and fireman #2 stayed outside looking thru the windows
(floor to ceiling). Unknown to all, the Inergen system alarm went off.
The
regular alarms were so noisy, no one heard. Then the gas discharged. The
windows bulged (engineers had not been sure they would hold) and the
doors
sealed for several minutes due to overpressurization of the room. When
those
inside were able to leave, none could hear very well, but they all were
breathing. 

Turned out nothing was wrong, there was a fault in the system. We
brought
all the systems back up with no problems.
