Subject:Fire, and Halon extinguishers

Been reading these postings and laugh out loud.
My boat has an automatic halon system, and I'm glad I have it.
In the event of a fire, I would like it to be extinguished as fast as
possible, with out screwing up everything, below, as a CO2 set up would.
The halon will extinguish the fire, one heck of a lot faster, & cleaner,
than the CO2, and if it is going to save my ass from burning. ( and the
boat ) The hell with the ozone, my liver, kidney's and whatever else the
noble heads of the list have claimed it's going to do.
Anyone ever see a boat burn?
It's damn ugly.
