       Fire extinguishers

       Now that these are mandatory, and as I had to do a MSUK module
       on fire fighting for vehicles at the weekend there is something
       I feel the need to pass on.
       Dry powder packs when being moved around, for example the
       vibration of travelling etc, and must be "unpacked" when at a
       potential risk situation eg when you take it to refuelling. Hold
       it upside down on your shoulder alongside your ear. You should
       hear a whiffling sound as the powder moves toward the head of
       the extinguisher. Check the pressure gauge and you are good to
       go. If you don't, the worst case is that the extinguisher won't
       work. As you go towards the fire give a brief squirt to make
       sure the one you have will work.
       Lastly and extremely important, don't allow anyone to be in the
       stream of extinguishant as breathing the powder can be fatal.

       Thanks Rhys, I planned to put something in each events regs
       regarding the use of the new extinguishers, so this is a great
       basis  :)
