Halon Replacement There have been many concerns over the safety of Halon to individuals and to the environment.  So the question becomes to boaters, what should I use to replace my old Halon system I have on my boat today? Andy Speltz, Fire Marshal of the Red Wing Fire Department, did a little research for the Hiawatha Valley Sail and Power Squadron and found acceptable replacements for older Halon fire extinguishers.  Nardini Fire Equipment of Shoreview, MN (651-483-6631) sells a system manufactured by FireBoy which use clean agents which are safe for the environment as well as for people. You can view the FireBoy products at http://www.fireboy-xintex.com/fire_extinguishing.html.
