Perhaps our green regulators should take their initial cues from Mr. FlexibleResponse's fine reply.
They should then consider weighing the damaging effects to the ozone layer from 2 bottles of halon being released as compared to the effect the ignition and incomplete combustion of 50 plus odd tons of kerosene along with plastics and various and sundry other materials would have on that 'precious' layer of our atmosphere.
To make the comparison more realistic, the bureaucrats should also be encouraged to include things like their wife's favorite perfume and child's preferred stuffy fluffy bear in the fiery mix.
