If fire persists (1 minute after item9)
Interesting to see that. A few years ago (2001) I queried the EC155 programme test pilot (DG) about the period of 60 seconds between fire extinguisher discharges. He said it was the publication dept taking out of context the guidance given, and that the intent was to use the English expression "wait a minute" to suggest pausing for a while. Not literally 60 seconds!
