LAS CRUCES New Mexico State University says a fire suppression system unexpectedly activated at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning at the main campus Computer Center, sparking a hazmat response.
The system was triggered during a scheduled maintenance test, according to Justin Bannister, a university spokesman. During the test, artificial smoke set off the sprinkler system, which is charged with a fire retardant chemical.
Five people who were in the Computer Center during the incident were treated on site for fume inhalation; a sixth was transported to Memorial Medical Center for further treatment, Bannister said.
When triggered, the fire suppression system shuts down the building electrical system, which caused networking and phone services to shut down across part of the campus. It also affected student services, including the online portal Banner.
The services were restored by Tuesday afternoon, with the exception of a few hundred staff e-mail accounts and a handful of departmental web pages on the universitys servers.
Damage to the Computer Center was limited to a few ceiling tiles. The building was reopened to students Tuesday afternoon.
According to Bannister, investigators from the company that manufactures and maintains the fire suppression system were expected to investigate the incident on Tuesday afternoon to figure out why the system malfunctioned and to recharge it with the chemical retardant.

CARROLLTOWN, CAMBRIA COUNTY - The State Fire Commissioner says someone in Pennsylvania dies in a fire every three days.
Now some people are looking at an old idea to save lives. Lawmakers are considering making it mandatory for all new homes to have sprinkler systems. Firefighters say it could save lives, but some people think it should be the builder's choice.
Monday night Chief Bob Illig and the Carrolltown Fire Department hosted several other companies from northern Cambria County to listen to a speaker from the National Fire Sprinkler Association. Ray Lonabaugh told the crowd that with modern building materials a house fire can reach flashover, where the flames are shooting out of the windows, in three or four minutes in stead of fifteen. And he thinks a sprinkler system could keep a fire small before it gets out of control.
Jim Brown with the Pennsylvania Builders Association says aspects of new home construction make them safer, and sprinkler systems less important. They'll put them in new homes for people, but they don't think sprinklers should be mandatory.
In 2009, sprinkler systems almost became mandatory for new homes. But now officials are looking at them again for the 2015 building code. And Brown says the Governor is in favor of them. Since they were brought up in 2009, Brown has asked every homebuilder in the design phase if they want a system and no one has said yes.

Home Sprinkler Systems Could Be Mandatory
Several residents at the Redstone Highlands senior community in North Huntingdon were greeted by firefighters and paramedics last week after a fire sprinkler was accidentally damaged and sprayed water into a second-floor apartment.
One of our maintenance men was painting a vacant apartment and broke a sprinkler head when he hit it with the roller he was using, said Linda Dickson, the facility's director of marketing and sales.
The incident occurred at about 7:30 a.m. on March 30.
The fire sprinkler system is set to automatically alert emergency personnel when it is activated, Dickson said.
They arrived amazingly fast literally in minutes and were able to stop the flow of water from the sprinkler, she said.
As a precaution, emergency personnel helped evacuate about 20 residents who live in area near the apartment where the sprinkler was damaged. After firefighters checked the building to make sure it was safe to occupy, most of the residents were allowed to return.
Although the flow of water was brief, it damaged the unit being painted, as well as four first-floor units below, Dickson said. Residents in the four damaged apartments that were occupied have been moved temporarily to empty units in the four-story complex, which has 95 senior apartments and 40 personal-care units.
The emergency workers and our employees were able to move their furniture and belongings to some empty apartments we have, she said. We're hoping to be able to get people back in their apartments within a week or two.
Most of the damage was isolated to ceilings and carpeting, said Dickson, adding that a restoration company was called in to handle cleanup and repairs. The four displaced residents are expected to be able to return to their apartments within the next two weeks, Dickson said.
Although the incident has created a minor inconvenience for some residents, Dickson said, the staff is viewing it in a positive light.
