RE: LiPo fires and extinquishers
I'm not aware of any extinguisher that'll really put out the 2,500+ deg. fire of a Lipo. I've always had a bag of sand handy, as this is one of the best ways to starve the lipo from reacting with the oxygen. Some folks I know charge with a ziploc bag of sand suspended over the pack. If a fire starts, the bag melts and dumps the sand.
