Yes, it also does not damage electronics so it was frequently used in data centers. We had big signs posted warning "evacuate room immediately if halon alarm sounds" and you had maybe 10 seconds or so to get out. Halon is a greenhouse gas or ozone depleting gas (can't recall which -- maybe

Yes, Halon systems were very common in raised floor computer rooms. They also have alarms and and all sorts of warning that light up and make noise before they discharge, so any humans in the area can get out. As Grant described, Halon displaces oxygen, so you wouldn’t want to be in an enclosed

I believe that Halon is now a forbidden material to use in fire extinguishers for personal use, because Halon binds with oxygen which makes it very effective for killing fires, it also removes active oxygen and kills humans, or causes them severe injury. When Halon first came on the market it was
