Scary experience
Our airfield, council owned has extinguishes all over the place
After reading your post it reminds me of an Incident that actually happened.
A good lesson
I was at Swan Hill some years ago, minding my own business. A car at the service station opposite at the bowser erupted in flames. The driver got a blanket from the boot and covered the engine, all OK until the blanket caught fire.
Anyway, I went into the office to tell the operator that he had a fire at the bowser, he was on the phone to the fire brigade and told me he was busy ringing. I asked him where was the fire extinguisher? He hung up the phone and put the fire out!!!
I have since made myself aware of the location of safety gear
