Re: FIRE! Fight or Flight?

CO2 should not be politically incorrect. It’s made by distillation I think from the atmosphere, so your sequestering CO2 by putting it in a fire extinguisher, and if you discharge, your merely...

Re: FIRE! Fight or Flight?

You do have your choice, CO2 can asphyxiate, and is way less effective.
Halon can asphyxiate too of course anything but Oxygen can if in a large enough concentration. Just Halon will extinguish a...

Re: FIRE! Fight or Flight?

Halon does not put off deadly gases. Halon is the only agent I believe that the FAA recommends for use inside of the cockpit of an airplane.
Putting out the fire, asphyxiating the pilot and...

Re: FIRE! Fight or Flight?

I was not saying don’t wear a life jacket, by any means. However I’ll admit that on a hot Sunny morning on a clam day, flat water not even clouds and motoring. I’m not going to have one on, and...

FIRE! Fight or Flight?

Well US people are more lax I guess, I never have a vest on unless it bad weather, bad.
Then I don’t think they ever really made the decision to abandon the vessel. They first put the fire out,...

Re: FIRE! Fight or Flight?

I think it was Kenomac’s wife who came up with a way to attach a hose to the sink in the head so they have water for firefighting.
Following their lead I attach one of those cloth hoses to a spigot...

Re: FIRE! Fight or Flight?

No, I know it seems like it’s starving it for air or O2 actually, but Halon works in far less concentration than that. If it didn’t, then it wouldn’t be any better than CO2. Halon somehow interferes...

FIRE! Fight or Flight?

This is also worth considering. Allows you to fight the fire without removing the large side panel, letting air in and the fire out.
West Marine has them.173377

Halon fire extinguishers you can buy today. I’m sure there are other, maybe less expensive sources, just I’m familiar with this one

FIRE! Fight or Flight?

No it is not, but it is a very common belief. Not in the concentration it’s possible to get with regular hand held fire extinguishers. Yes if you put a garbage bag over your head and discharge a...

FIRE! Fight or Flight?

Get in an enclosed area, like a garden shed and set off a dry chemical fire extinguisher. Report back.
It won’t kill you and it’s not as bad as CS tear gas, which won’t kill you either, but it’s a...

FIRE! Fight or Flight?

Other times once started they spread so fast that your only chance is to immediately start fighting, if you lose 30 sec, it...
