Nomex will protect you regardless of the make and model you fly, and if the circumstances are right, I will bet that a Bell will burn just fine....

On another note, just got word from a former colleague who used to operate the Fennec. According to him it is fitted with self-sealing crash resistant fuel cells from the factory.

EDIT: The self sealing tanks are apparently not standard but an add on option on the ones we operate.
