Cool

We had a tail pipe fire on a classic a few years back, unfortunately the crew missinterpreted what the headset man was saying and thought they said fire. So they pulled the handle fired the bottles etc, unfortunately that doesn't help with a tail pipe fire, which carried on burning, and of course they couldn't blow it out now with the handle pulled. Consequently a lot more damage was done due to poor communication!
