Looked up the archived microfiche of the LA Times for September 10, 1989.

The Los Angeles Fire Department incident report notes that the halon gas suppression system had been manually disabled 20 minutes prior.
The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.

Who disabled the halon system at 2:00 in the morning?

My uncle worked in commercial real estate in Westwood. He said Federal Marshals sealed the 14th floor and basement of Orion Tower for three weeks after the fire.
