BAKER AVIATION REINFORCES FAA TOXIC SMOKE THREAT FROM LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY FIRES Baker Aviation, the master distributor of HOT-STOP®
‘L’ Fire Containment
Kits, participates in the FAA Fire & Cabin Safety Research Conference in Atlantic City that emphasizes the serious threat of toxic smoke that is emitted from lithium-ion battery fires of personal devices that are happening on-board aircraft. In support of this very serious
concern, Baker Aviation is doubling the amount it offers for its ‘Surrender’ program and will provide $200 as a trade-in discount towards a new, zero-tolerance, airtight HOT-STOP® ‘L’ EVO Fire Containment Kit to any Part 91 or 135 operators for any other brand of fire containment bag that allows toxic smoke to escape. “As pioneers in this aviation
fire-containment market, we know how serious the threat of smoke is in an aircraft, especially in the cockpit; therefore, in light of this recent research, we are no longer manufacturing our legacy bag with nominal escape of smoke,” explains Ray Goyco, Jr., president and chief operating officer at Baker Aviation Maintenance. “As the FAA pointed out in numerous presentations in Atlantic City, this smoke can cause immediate medical complications to the passengers and crew by ingesting the toxins from the melting plastic and smoke from the battery fluid. There was also a presentation at the NBAA convention in November by Captain John Cox that emphasized
the implications of smoke from these battery fires, and we are advocates for heightening the awareness of this serious threat.” Goyco continues: “Therefore, we
are offering a special $200 surrender discount on our product to Part 91 and 135 operators that may have purchased another fire containment product brand that allows these toxic fumes to escape after the device is inside the container. The new HOT-STOP ‘L’ EVO with the latest zipper technology is airtight and does not allow any smoke or toxins to escape once the device is properly sealed in the bag, and includes fire safety gloves. HOT-STOP ‘L’ bags are quick and easy to deploy because time is critical to minimizing this toxic smoke that will quickly fill the cockpit and cabin. In support of our loyal clients that purchased the legacy HOT-STOP product, we are offering them a special retrofit program that modifies the existing bag with the new airtight zipper closure that is tested and proven to lock in all the smoke, fire and potential spewing molten from an erupting device until the runaway battery burns itself out.” The new HOT-STOP ‘L’ EVO
product line was originally designed for the airlines and the plethora of lithium-powered devices that are brought on commercial flights today, but it can easily be stored on any
