<p>Keep in mind that fire fighters will deluge a building with millions of liters of water if a fire is not suppressed by your suppression system, so opting against a water based system may not save your collection from water damage. Look at the performance
of various sprinklers systems before choosing-a wet pipe system may be more reliable in putting out a fire when it first starts than a dry pipe system.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Something to keep in mind with low oxygen storage is that it creates a similar risk to humans as a confined space are you going to be able to let people (visitors as well as staff) access the collection? would an elderly staff member with lung disease be
able to work in the space. If not, would the objects have to be removed from the room for use by researcher? Would this be detrimental to the collection?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The more combustible/flammable liquids you have stored in a room, the less likely fire fighters will want to risk entering the room/facility in a fire situation. Wet collections therefore require a lot of engineering in the design of the space to reduce
the risk of ignition and spread of fire.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You need to include users, fire engineers, industrial hygienists and safety specialists in discussion of strategies for housing wet collections. The best design will acknowledge the needs of the users in the design so that staff can work within the constraints
imposed by the design and not try to circumvent the design features. One example is the use of electrical equipment inside the space. Do users need to use camera and lights, laptops, wireless antennae, Stryker saws, electric pumps, etc.? How can these needs
be accommodated? If they are not included in the design will staff run multiple extension cords into the space and connect regular electrical devices in order to accomplish their work, thus creating a bigger hazard? Or can and air compressor be used to run
some equipment, can repeaters be located outside the room with just the antennae protruding into the room, can military grade explosion proof laptops be used?</p>
