Narrative:
During preflight the upper deck cargo fire suppression activated. After upper deck cargo deck door was opened; it was not possible keep halon from entering the forward vestibule area. To keep the crew from getting sick from breathing halon; at my insistence; I escorted the forward crew off of the aircraft while passengers were still on board the back part of the aircraft. This was a combi. No passengers were affected.
