Fire in the Cabin

As you have all discussed, the problem is most crew are not aware of the issue and do not know the best way to fight a Lithium Fire.

The best fire extinguisher to use on them is water not halon, as water not just puts out the fire but also cools the battery cells.

After studying the recommendations from many sources, we have produced a free short online course that we have made available to anyone. The course is aimed at Flight & Cabin Crew but is also recommended for personnel that handle baggage and cargo. You can view the course at XXX and just follow the links.

The course has a link to the FAA video on YouTube

XXX - bit close to marketing, methinks. Anyone interested should PM the poster for details. JT
