Why do they have a water fire suppression system if water makes the chemicals reactive? Sounds like negligence

[xoMiaBambinaxo]

Let’s put water sprinklers in a massive lab that makes water reactive chemicals. WTAF most other biolabs like this do NOT use water sprinklers in their facilities.
Major health problems are going to result bc of this place.

Yeah, and what are they going to do? They can’t call the chemicals back out of the air and clean them up. It’s already done now.
