Not an active datacenter, but I did get to use a fire extinguisher to knock out a metal-mesh-reinforced window in a secure building once because no one knew where the keys were for an important room.
Management was not happy, but I didn’t get in trouble for it. And yes, it was awesome. Surprisingly easy, especially since the fire extinguisher was literally right next to it.
Nothing says ‘go ahead, destroy that shit’ like money going up in smoke if you don’t.
P.S. don’t park in front of fire hydrants, because they will have a shit eating grin on their face when they destroy your car- ahem - clear the obstacle - when they need to use it to stop a fire.
