Further to the postings on Engine room fire extiguishers:
Apparently these are leave one hell of a mess on an engine fire. They work by congealing the powder around anything that is hot which will include the alternator etc etc, getting into areas you cannot clean, so quite clearly this is not a good idea if there are other method available.
For cabin fires they would seem ok, eher they don't congeal they brush off OK. I have not thank god ever had to let off one of them yet, so I 've no real idea of the mess!
