Why is that surprising? Air is used to blow out birthday candles thus suppressing the "fire". You've just got a bigger air source! :)

The existing system is being flushed, sprinklers replaced and about a dozen heads added. BTW, I never thought of compressed air as a "fire-suppressing compound" "Like the system being removed, the new system will be a dry system, containing a fire-suppressing compound instead of water, he said."
