[SML] Fire hoses was Re: Cell phone lasers

[Lou Poppler]

One nice thing about being a crew, is that you can do more than one thing at once, you don't have to choose either calling the FD or using an extinguisher.  The one time I actually used a fire extinguisher, someone else was already on the phone while I was getting started.  Luckily in this case, I was able to put down the fire pretty fast (and kept spraying until the tank was empty).  The FD arrived within minutes and made sure the fire was completely out, and they told me they were very glad to find the fire mostly out when they arrived.
