CO2 and halon are very nice ways to put out a fire without destroying the interior.
CO2 extinguishers tend to be fairly big and halon is expensive now.

It is pretty big, about the size of a backpack. I had 2 fires in the past 2 years. Fortunately I was on-board in both, awake on one, woken up by the second. I did not use the fire blanket though. Incidentally, first one was in the bilge due to a seized bilge pump, and the second one was a faulty charger on a high tech jumstarter. Both would have burned the boat down (1 ft flames licking the liner) if I had not been there. I have the fire blanket in case if there is an issue with the stove, such as an oil fire Ahmet On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 7:58 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: Any listers have a fire blanket onboard?
