Ah apparently you are referring to Halon. If there was expensive/delicate computer equipment, it's not surprising that they'd have fire supression systems like this. Foam, water, and dry chem could all easily significantly damage the equipment.

Yeah thats what they used it for but it should have been dispossed of when they abandoned the place back in 98. I was a bit surprised to see it there considering enviromental offices were not too far away and also about 500 feet outside the door on the right is a county owned hazordous waste site.

Halon has been illegal to use for fire suppression for a while now. Newer, more environmentally friendly gasses are now used. However, you don't want to be in a room in which this sort of system is used when the alarms go off...

I think Halon-operated systems must sound an alarm and allow X seconds for personell to be evacuated or so. When I saw this as random pic, I thought the second word on the bottom line was BEEER ... So strange, to refill this with BEEER .... Only later I realised it must've been REFER :-P
