Its probably the reason why we decided that if a Vigilant crashed and burnt we would all stand well up wind and watch, waiting for the fire service to arrive rather than attempt to fight the fire ourselves. HQAC never having thought to issue respirators for the VGS staff they expected to provide fire cover
These fibres are for sure not healty in your lungs, but one of these should do (at least that's what we have used when doing repair work ):
