Fire suppression systems

While Halon 1301 is no longer being produced, a number of
substitutes are now on the market.  The NFPA (Quincy, MA) has a
publication out on standards for these new fire suppressants.  You
might wish to contact their Technical Advisory Services at
617-770-3000 for their recommendations regarding those, if any,
would be suitable for a microfilm storage area.
