[Nhcoll-l] Fire prevention and fire fighting in collection halls

[Majken Them Tøttrup]

Dear all
We are planning for new storage facilities in Copenhagen and we would like some input on the different ways to prevent and fight fire.
We have discussed the following methods; sprinkling, low oxygen, inert gas.

·         Are there any other ways/methods to prevent and actively fight fire?

·         What do you use - and what are your experiences?

·         Do you prevent/fight fire differently in dry and wet collections?

All input are highly appreciated :)
Best regards,
Majken
