[AusNOG] Warrnambool exchange

[Brad Evans]

Sure, I understand why we use the correct fire supression systems in 
technical environments, but as an alternative to *nothing* which results 
in the local fire brigade coming out and pouring water over everything 
its not such a bad idea.

>> IIRC, in my experience, Telstra exchanges don't have fire supression systems except in the battery rooms. I hope NBNco are putting them in for their Telstra Exchange located POIs, otherwise given there are only 121 POIs, a Telstra Exchange/POI burning down will have a lot more of and a wider impact than this exchange fire has.
