I'll bite: I say go with a Clean Agent system combined with air sampling detection. Include clean agent extinguishers.
The sniffer detection should be programmed to signal very early warning of a 'situation,' which can hopefully be handled by the staff with hand-helds prior to discharge of the clean agent system. It would also alert the airport fire dept. who could take over the fire-fighting (or finding) efforts - again, hopefully before system discharge. The place is manned 24/7. Seems manual fire fighting in the earliest stages of the fire is reasonable. Clean agent is there for back-up. Just a quick guess at a solution. Mark A.
