What was used to fight the fire in London 1666?
A firebreak or fireroad is a gap in vegetation or other combustible material that is expected to slow or stop the progress of a wildfire. A firebreak may be a road - from a jeep trail to a freeway - or a path of removed vegetation along a ridge that is intended for no other purpose. Forested areas are often riddled with networks of firebreaks. For firebreaks to be effective they have to be backed up with other firefighting efforts. Even then it is sometimes not enough. During the worst of the fire season in southern California, Santa Ana winds will blow carpets of burning embers across eight-lane freeways without a pause. During the 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park, smoking embers managed to cross the Lewis Canyon, a natural canyon up to a mile wide and 600 feet (180 m) deep. The world's most expensive firebreak was created when the whole street of Van Ness was dynamited to stop the spread of fire resulting from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake/
How many fire extinguishers for a 26-40 foot boat?

What is the state of the carbon dioxide in a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher?
The state is dependent upon the temperature. At 70 degrees F and below, some of the carbon dioxide is in the form of a liquid, with some vapor. If the temperature exceeds 88 degrees F (the critical temperature of carbon dioxide), the liquid phase disappears, and the contents of the extinguisher is vapor.
The majority of the CO2 stored in a fire extinguisher is a liquid under pressure of more than 5 atmospheres.
The boiling temperature of carbon dioxide is 70 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW zero at 5.2 bar (about 73 psi), meaning it is liquid or supercritical fluid at room temperature if it is compressed at more pressure than that.
What is the maximum travel distance to a Class B extinguisher?
NFPA Fire Code limits the distance to 75 feet for a Class A extinguisher, i.e., where an extinguisher is required for a regulated occupancy. The minimum rated for a required extinguisher is 2A, although two smaller ones may substitute for one 2A.
Also, not more than half of the extinguishers can be replaced by proper hose stations with 1 1/2-inch hose, but not more than every other extinguisher.
OSHA allows one for each 3,000 sq ft or within 100 feet of any point in a construction project where fire may occur, although hose stations and approved sprinkler systems may be substituted for one or more extinguishers.
