Benton Harbor Suppression Scenarios

The head that discharged over the dining room. An accidental discharge soaked the seating area — extracted overnight, dried in two days, and service continued with the affected section closed.

The hotel corridor soak. A guest-room head let go into the hallway — extraction contained it to two rooms, dried on rotation, and occupancy held.
