effectiveness of extinguishers
Just read about the crash of DC-3 in Florida.
Apparently fires still going after using foam.
How good is it, what is your experience?
Did a one one day course at HG in the 90's.
Found that foam did not put out a fuel fire , probably due to poor technique used in laying down foam. Used water from green goddess, fire out in several seconds.
Had similiar experience with powder extinguisher in car starter motor fire...useless.
Bucket of water fire out in 1/2 second.
What would you want to be used in a fire situation on ground.
Have used used powder fire extinguisher on aircraft fire..seemed to work, be aware they only last about 4-5 seconds.
