Baker Aviation, the Master Distributor for the
HOT-STOP® ’L’ Fire Containment Kits, recently participated in the FAA Fire &
Cabin Safety Research Conference in Atlantic City that emphasized 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 [to any Part 91 or 135 operators] for any
other brand of fire containment bag that allows toxic smoke to escape, towards a
new Zero Tolerance, Airtight HOT-STOP ‘L’ EVO Fire Containment Kit.
“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,” explained
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,” added
Goyco.
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
size jet, business or commercial. The zero tolerance red bag incorporates the
latest airtight, zipper technology, comes in multiple sizes, and can be
custom-made to fit a variety of battery-powered devices. The HOT-STOP ‘L’ EVO
bag and gloves have burn certifications, and are designed, proven, and UL
approved laboratory tested to contain a battery in full thermal runaway until it
has burned itself out. HOT-STOP ‘L’ can also conveniently be used as safe
storage for a device while unattended, or as a preventative measure if a device
shows signs of overheating.
HOT-STOP® ‘L’ products are manufactured in
the USA by Industrial Energy Products (IEP) and for more information contact
