And still more for you, Thom. As you can see I was 100% right and Ozzy and a
few others saw the sense...or at least looked it up.

Procedures for Fighting a Fire Onboard

RESTRICT the fire
Shut off air supply to the fire - close hatches, ports, etc.
De-energize electrical systems in affected space
Set fire boundaries to confine the fire
Shut off fuel supply and ventilation
Maneuver vessel to minimize the effect of wind on the fire
Prior to activating fixed extinguishing system, ensure that all personnel have
been evacuated from the space

Even at your age, you can still learn a few things, Thom. I don't know what
donal's excuse is. Scotty's excuse is that he's a bloody moron.
