A battery fire broke out in a Hillsboro data center Thursday morning, prompting evacuation of the site but causing no injuries.

Burning for social justice, or as it really is, “Arson”.

No mention of a fire-suppression system. I would think there would be a foam-based system. I can't imagine Oregon would allow a halon system.

I thought the same. Why no fire-suppression to snuff out the fire, unless the ignition source provides its' own oxygen to feed the fire.
