Good point Bill.
Does your CO2 bottle have a "welding head" on it?
I suspect you were being tongue-in-cheek but it gets us thinking...
Does the CO2 fire extinguisher have a dip tube for liquid
expectorant? Would a horn on a beer system CO2 (welding head) bottle
valve work in a pinch?, say to a nod to multi-purpose.
I too brew beer and have a couple of small CO2 bottles and some corny
kegs to purpose for cruising. Mmm.
As for fire blankets, it's good that the Admiral is a natural fibre
snob. Cotton & wool are excellent choices for fire blankets and
duvets. They smoulder, not flash up like synthetics, so toss the
blankie on it and follow with the nearest water jug, beer, wine,
whatever and you have a good story with a plus, if you're not putting
out fires they're warmer if it's damp out (like 7 months on the Wet
Coast) when used for the principal purpose.

Viola - Joe just gave me a reason to leave my CO2 bottle on the boat
- 3 reasons. 1st, (what I got it for ) to blow a big ship horn,
2nd, to push my favorite craft beer , ( I may have to get a large
cooler ), and 3rd, put out fires!

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.
