Just goes to show even returning from calls you need to be careful. People younger, older are all off in their own world and not paying attention to their surroundings.

Thats why they say not to use those things near any iginition source!

Survivor or Survivor LED. I had the regular Survivior light from FF1 and on, lasted me 9 years numerous fires/calls/drops etc then the charger went missing, so purchased the Survivor LED since it was only slightly more costly than a replacement rechargeable battery and charger. Both are great and the Survivor LED comes with the AA battery pack adapter and of course new charger that fits the older Survivor light! So I ended up with a new very powerful and yet small light and got my old one back in business. They are around $90 and up depending on the "accessories".

Port Chester Marine 40 has a home-made fire suppression on board : )

Im sure seeing the fires on the news this will be put to the test.
