I'm out busting up the corners and such and I hear this loud thud from the rear trunk. Then "smoke" starts coming up out of the center pad between the seats.
I knew what it was right away. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) My unsecured fire extinguisher blew all over everything. Moon dust... May show pics (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

before I tore down my car for rebuilding, I kept a fire extinguisher behind the driver's seat. One day I moved the seat back to get under the dash. When I slid it forward, it hooked the fire extinguisher handle and caused it to discharge. Luckily it was a Halon extinguisher so all I had to do was get the hell out of the car quickly.

But the best one relating to fire suppression was when I worked for a major company based in Ft. Worth. They had a computer room with a red button on either side of the exit door. The left one was clearly labeled "Halon Fire Suppression System" and the right one was labeled "Exit". One of the cleaning crew didn't read english, so he hit the halon discharge button instead of the exit button. He didn't know to abort the discharge by pulling the button out, and no one was near the door but him. I just barely made it out of the room before the halon discharge. Shut down the computer room for 2 days. |
