Water and powder will both can cause extensive damage. My extinguishers are
Halon. I don't worry too much about the ozone. After all, the extinguishers
will never be activated. Right?
thanks for the fire extinguishing spinoff in the thread. I never
really did care too much about that topic but after 2-3 severe smell
incidents I'm now off to purchase a CO2 extinguisher for use in worst
case scenarios.
It's probably going to be more of a safety blanket (rather then
something to put to real action) to have a solution between continued
fire hazard after the incident and killing the machine with water or
other extinguishers (in all cases *so* *far* that would have been
overreacting).
