Thus spake Matt Harris (matt () netfire net) on Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 05:06:46AM -0600:

There are plenty of effective options besides environmentally-destructive
Halon, dangerous-to-equipment water sprinkler, or dangerous-to-personnel
CO2 for fire suppression these days. Some of the most common today are foam
systems like FM-200 or 3m's Novec.

Sadly, the foams are not without environmental impact either with
respect to PFAS.
