Dang Roger, so sorry to hear that. I’ve been there and done that and it sucks. Glad it wasn’t worse and you’re OK.

Even worse; I gave him a halon extinguisher years ago. Instead he uses one of those dry powder units.

Glad you got it out so quickly. They can get so much worse in an instant.

I've heard good things about the Element fire extinguishers. No residue to clean up afterwards.

But that is scary and reminds me.. I don't have extinguishers for all my cars.

He is Scottish, isn't he?

Seriously, I'm glad it's no worse.
