Default RE: LiPo fires and extinquishers

No extiguisher will work unfortunatly. As soon as fresh air reaches the pack it'll explode again, so it's better to spend more time preventing explosions than stocking up on items that won't extinguish them for long anyway. [&o]

If you folks haven't seen the exploding LiPo demo videos on youtube.com. they'll open your eyes. Does anyone know the right class of fire extinquisher (A, B, C, etc.) to use on a LiPo fire that will extinguish it and not accelerate it? I don't plan on exploding LiPos, but just want to put safety first. Neall
