You might have trouble as Halon is on the EPA's hit list. I don't think they can produce any more except for military uses. There are other extinguishing substances (ie foam) that may actually work better and not leave any corrosive residue like the dry chemical ones.
Halon is great, but if the heat source is still present, the fire can reignite after the halon leaves the area. I've always used Halon extinguishers (and did save a 914-6 with a carb fire once), but I think my next purchase may be a foam extinguisher. |
