Abstract: In one embodiment, an inventory storage system has at least one storage module and a fire suppression system. The storage module has upper and lower conveyor segments that are configured to move storage containers along a longitudinal direction, and first and second connecting conveyor segments that are disposed at the first and second module ends, respectively. Each connecting segment connects the upper and lower conveyor segments to one another such that the upper and lower conveyor segments and the first and second connecting conveyor segments together define a movement path having a closed shape. The storage module defines a gap between storage containers supported by the upper and lower conveyor segments. The fire suppression system has at least one spray nozzle that is laterally adjacent to the gap and that is configured to spray a liquid extinguishant into the gap and onto storage containers supported by the lower conveyor segment.
