I think I would put in an eye wash station first, followed by a set of
cable cutters. The one battery fire I experienced was a quick burn of
the hydrogen off of a single cell, lasted a few seconds with very little
heat, and extinguished it self. It was the result of a shorted battery
cable, so the solution was to cut the cable.
Should we a fire extinguisher in with the gas hot water heater? That's
an open flame, all the time.

i am curious if any other wrenches install or recommend fire
extinguishers in the equipment room for their installations,
particularly for battery based systems. if so, what would be the best
kind? dry chemical extinguishers make a hell of a mess. c02 units
might be better?
thanks,
todd
