Halon was supposed to be looking after the child, but opted to go the pub instead, leaving the house unlocked.
Our research and testing has led us to a two-fold conclusion as to what type of extinguisher you should carry in your aircraft: First, effective means an extinguisher that uses a "clean agent," either
Halon or one of the
Halon alternatives--if it is possible to extinguish the fire you're dealing with, they will do it and they won't hurt you or the aircraft in the process.

Halon extinguishers from H3R Aviation, which manufactures a wide range of aviation-specific extinguisher products, including portable units and those large, wheeled bottles you might find on your FBO's ramp.
After the production of
Halon was discontinued, the fire-protection community worked hard to develop effective extinguishing agents that do not harm the environment.
Halon 1301 is a Class I ozone-depleting substance, which is harmful to the environment.
This high level of performance is achieved with the
Halon Operating System (H/OS), which is based on the BSD Unix Operating system, recognized as the most secure system on the market.
Even developed countries are not without
halon banking problems.
The UNEP Division of Technology, Industry and Economics' (Paris, France) OzonAction Programme is helping such countries meet the
halon challenge through a new publication, Eliminating Dependency on
Halons: Case Studies.
One such substance is produced by the
Halon gas automatic fire and explosion suppression system used on many military vehicles, including the new Light Armoured Vehicles known as LAVs.
Fire detectors and pressurized bottles of
Halon -- a highly effective fire fighting agent -- have long been used in the cargo holds of larger jets like the Boeing 777 and the Lockheed L-1011.
Laws phasing out the production of
Halon and taxing its use are making the tough job of a security manager even tougher.
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2), and
halon are the three agents most commonly found in household and automotive extinguishers.
