There's a lot more info needed to make a final determination. Of the aluminum plants I've done, the ovens and presses were protected by local application, low pressure, CO2 systems with both automatic and manual activation. Fires in rolling mills were not uncommon due to the coolants used and the process.
The "Pe" needs to do some homework and justify his position or hire someone who knows something about these kinds of hazards. Craig L.
