Several of you have pointed out to me at varying level of politeness 
that ‘halon’ is no longer used. Sometimes I cannot hep but reveal my 
age … ;-)

I meant to say ‘Further I conjecture that the building could not have 
had a fire suppression system that requires reasonably airtight 
spaces.’. The between-the-lines there being that it may have been the 
very design of the building that lead to the rapid spreading of the 
fire.

Again: all conjecture, which seems to be tolerated here. ;-)
