Fire, fire!

Or rather, what to do if one occurs.

Dai came with the usual small dry powder extinguisher, fair enough but the thought of actually using the thing in such a confined space is fairly horrifying, assuming it actually went off at all. There's a good chance it would be impossible to clean up the residue anyway.

At Crick boatshow was a stall selling a relatively new gas generator (do no stored pressure) extinguisher. Effectively a replacement for the old halon ones, but the gas isn't poisonous or damaging to the environment. Physically is almost the same size so I decided to buy one and fitted it this afternoon. I'll keep the old extinguisher to go back in if I sell in the next couple of years.
