What is the best way to load 50+ workstations, 6 servers, IP phones, networking gear, printers and wireless equipment into a 17-foot U-Haul? We have limited packing supplies. We also need to spend as much time as possible working with the fire crew on fire risk mitigation."

Even simpler: shut off the electricity, seal all the doors and windows, then flood the entire building. Once the fire is gone, let the water out, wait for everything to dry up, switch on the electricity again. Easy!
