I know a number of people who fly regularly and who stay in hotels,
mostly in Asia.
They have these at hand to offer at least an opportunity to escape the
all too often fires

Better to have it and not need it, than to etc etc...

I like the idea of carrying one (or two) to strange hotels.
Thanks Oz!

What safety gear would you have near a propane
stove in the galley?

1 pt

1. Master shut off valve for propane.
2. Fire hood.
3. Cover for stove.
4. CO detector.
5. Vent fan.
6. Fire extinguisher located near exit.
7. Heavy duty oven mitts or M-60 barrel changing mitts.
8. Halon or purple K in a can/small bucket/bottle.
9. Propane leak detector.

One thing I noticed on boats in the UK. A flame retardant
blanket--to one side of a stove. Good for putting out a
grease fire.

Here in Oz, Fire Blankets are required by many insurance companies.


And I thought you had me killfiled?

We carry a couple in the planes when ferrying...ours will supply 60
mins of air...might just get you down in a cockpit full of smoke....or
at least let you see what you're gonna hit :(

If you'd used the proper clyclic rate of fire, you would't need those
mitts.


You are so wrong.
