[T3] So my 62 Notch caught fire today!!!!

[Bryon Garvin]

I have been meaning to buy an extinguisher, and this unfortunate story
really drives it home.  So, the class doesn't matter as much as what's in
the extinguisher?  Is that right?

>From some quick research on the web, it's sounds like a class B,C CO2
extinguisher is the best.  Am I correct?

I'm sorry for the misfortune that you dealt with on the highway.  Glad you
lived to tell the tale, William.
