You're certainly welcome, Alan. Next time don't be so confident in yourself.

Not everything can be stored under the ceiling sprinklers! Sep 9, 2013

Don't be too confident in yourself!

This is just a simple example (not to mention the fact that a lot of substances would produce highly flammable, explosive and/or toxic gases on contact with water):

感觉这句话还是有必要再探讨一下，不当之处请大家指正。



首先，对你探讨的精神和勇气表示赞赏。

其次：
企业花几十万甚至上百万铺设管道、购进喷淋灭火设备，就是要把几乎任何可燃、贵重、值得保护的物资放在喷淋头底下。而且，在这些物资和喷淋头之间还不能有不合适的东西挡着。如果挡着，水就浇不到这些宝贝了（？？？！！！）。
担心意外喷水造成损失，杞人忧天。至少比你喝水噎着的可能性小得多。现代工商业！每一步都有对付的办法。
如果购进这些贵重的自动消防器材，仅能在它们底下放空气，谁会干这种天大的傻事？
