industry from its FAA Part 145 maintenance repair and parts business to the FAA Part 135 charter, management services they provide, and this is where the market is,” states Thomas Connolly, Jr., president of Industrial Energy Products, Inc. “The wealth of knowledge at the executive and management levels at Baker is exceptional and I look forward to working with them. I also anticipate that we will soon be bringing the HOT-STOP®

technology to commercial aviation worldwide,” added Connolly.
Lithium Ion battery powered computers and electronic
devices have been identifi ed as in-fl ight fi re hazards due to the potential battery malfunctions that can result in violent fi res and explosions that are diffi cult to contain inside a business aircraft.

Simply stated, utilizing the HOT-STOP ‘L’ bag is a safe and easy way to control potentially dangerous fi re incidents while in the air. Users will fl y with confi dence and without the fear of failing technology or the time consuming and unpredictable use of a water aid solution,” adds Goyco. The HOT-STOP®
