A battery fire broke out in a Hillsboro data center Thursday morning, prompting evacuation of the site but causing no injuries.
“Right about 10:20 this morning our crews got called to a fire involving a battery or batteries,” said Piseth Pich, a Hillsboro Fire & Rescue spokesperson. “When they arrived they found batteries inside a room inside what we understood to be a data center. The fire itself was contained to the battery set there and hadn’t spread anywhere else in that room.”

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.

No mention of a fire-suppression 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.
