Seems Dangerous to use in a fire.
“Burning Freon produces a nerve gas that was used to kill troops in World War I. EPA spokeswoman Tina Kreisher said Monday that the supply below the twin towers appears to be in no danger of igniting.”
Without oxygen the fire doesn’t burn so the threat of decomposition goes away.
how do you think our Space Shuttle crews feel about it?

Wrong. It produces Phosgene gas which is an irritant not a nerve gas. It doesn’t “burn” either.

With idiots like this in EPA no wonder we are screwed.
