Seeing this reminds me of the last model jet fire I saw at our local field. I was the first one to the crash site and expended my personal fire extingisher. I didn't think anything about the cost of recharging until I got the bill for $35.00 a couple of weeks later.
The owner of the aircraft never ask about my costs for recharge and if it had been my plane I probably wouldn't have thought about the cost to the people who helped fight the fire either. Just a thought, if someone helps fight your fire, remember them later.
some people arent appreciative.... there have been times i have gone out of my way to help someone, via email or text...then they dont even bother to reply back at all, or just a simple thanks would make it worth it.... those are the kind i stay away from
... i know things cost money, and if was the owner of that jet, i would have offered to take everyone who used their extinguishers out to dinner, or offered to have them refilled..... afterall if you can afford to fly twin turbine air craft you can surely afford to refill a few extinguishers
