(7 July): “A recent issue of the South Wales Echo
reported: `Staff had to evacuate a South Wales truck firm after an electrical
fire threatened to ignite a carbon dioxide container at the company depot. Fire
crews using specialist equipment were called. . . Nobody was hurt in the blaze.’
We wonder what specialist equipment they used. The normal method of
extinguishing an electrical fire is to spray it with carbon dioxide.”
Are you daft? Exposing a tank of CO2 to fire does not create an
extinguisher, it creates a bomb.
