I had the fire suppression system go off while I was in the datacenter once. Scariest thing knowing all the oxygen is being pushed out of the room by the heavier gas.

I've never moved so quick to the exit as I did then. Took 2 breaths along the way, was extremely light headed for about 5 minutes afterwards.

It went off because HVAC guys were using an angle grinder to cut some ducting only feet away from the intake vent. All the smoke got pulled in and set off the fire alarm.

You spell 'learning opportunity that will be entertaining for years to come' funny.

Where I used to work we had an FM200 system that I was always super-careful around. If I even thought there was a chance I could set it off I would disconnect the firing pin then leave my car keys there so I couldn't leave without re-connecting it. They company that installed it said the sensors are looking for "fine particulate matter" so even things like drywall dust could set it off.
