[SML] Fire hoses was Re: Cell phone lasers

[Jon Lagerquist]

Talking to one of the local fire captains at his son's Eagle board 
recently he noted that fires (residential and office primarily) now hit 
1,800 F compared to the 300 F to 500 F of 40 or 50 years ago. Mostly a 
product of the materials burning. 1,800 F steel has a nice orange glow.
