Wow Halon, I ain't heard that since my active duty days in the Navy
. I doubt that it's Halon because that stuff sucks all the oxygen out of the air to put out a fire.
We (in the navy) had it in our engine rooms. If a fire broke out that was not manageable, you set off the Halon system. In order for it to be effective, all ventilation would need to be secured as well as all water/air tight doors and you HOPE that all personnel were evacuated before it went off. It literally depletes all the oxygen in the space.
