Well, it's a known fact that water and electronics won't go well with each other. Unless the sprinklers are CO2 sprinklers, which i don't know if that exists, you should talk to someone on the police station on that matter, just to be sure, because if a fire sets the sprinklers on and there is someone in or nearby the server room, they could be in a really dangerous situation.
