Good question, The powder makes a real mess of things.

Watched our neighbours house burn last Tuesday, she tried to put out an electrical fire with water. Before I went to bed that night I inspected all the fire extinguishers we have in our home and made sure everybody knew how to use them.

I work with a lady who did that at the company where I work. You have to wonder sometimes what they are thinking?

Halon is no longer used ....Data Centers use a new Clean Agent oxygen depleting gas...its called Inergen.Its much more environmentally friendly.I dont think its available in a portable extinguisher yet though. We also have an FM-200 system...same principles as Halon but friendly to the environment...if you find Halon it is recycles as it is no longer produced. Halon is an ozone depleting chemical. CO2 is an alternative too.

i'll say it again, the h3r product acts like halon, depletes the fire and no mess. I have a nice chrome unit that i take with me everytime. Motion sounds like he can set you up.

Ps i had a stock automatic halon unit on my offshore boat (twin 502s, crane hydraulic cam etc, dart HR intake and a big holley. 500hp each) and it gave piece me piece of mind.
I have been in a boat gas fire So with 160 gallons of fuel on this boat, i monitored the halon regularily
