Now what do you mean by Fire Suppression Stations? Are these manned fire stations or are they various sectors in a fire sprinkler system? A mile for a fire sprinkler system is a really long run. Now if they are manned that isn't too bad. Now the deal for the ammunition and volatile materials storage should be subdivided into a number of much smaller storage magazines. Each magazine should be individually sprinklered. They should also ideally have a way to vent pressure and blast if possible.

Since this was built in the 1960-1970 I'd say that they were probably going with United States Navy standards for magazines at Weapon Stations in terms of sprinkler protection (flow rate head density and such). I can't recall if each magazine needed a daily temperature check shoreside but shipboard we did daily checks.
