This is like the place I worked where our server room fire suppression system was a handheld extinguisher and a "Guardian Angel of Computers" wall hanging.

That beats the "In case alarm, run away because both you and fire need oxygen, and the oxygen is about to leave the room" system that some server rooms and labs have.

Well, the good thing about the inert gas systems is that they work even if the fire starts when you aren't there. We didn't have the budget for one, so we just hoped there wouldn't be a fire after 5pm.
