Same thing.
Freon 13B1 is also known as Halon 1301 and is used in fire suppression systems.

Seems Dangerous to use in a fire.
“Burning Freon produces a nerve gas that was used to kill troops in World War I. EPA spokeswoman Tina Kreisher said Monday that the supply below the twin towers appears to be in no danger of igniting.”

Boy a sub could become a vessel of death on short order with no oxygen... The fire suppression system seems to be more dangerous than the fire threat...

Correct. It’s also not a “poison”. It just displaced the air in the enclosed space and basically smothered the poor devils.
