Fire extinguishers – It is absolutely crucial to have at least one CO2 extinguisher
and a Class ABC extinguisher on hand at all times. CO2 is the only recommended
application for a motor fire. A dry chemical extinguisher will work to extinguish a
fire but the residue left behind from dry chemical extinguishers does heavy
damage to a running turbine. If a chemical extinguisher is used to douse a
running engine fire, the motor will need to be completely dissembled and
cleaned.
