I read that ed tried to get the pouch outside.
what should happen is a large bucket of sand (kiln dried preferably) should be available and it should ALL be dumped on the bag/fire etc and LEFT, one the fire is out then the pouch should be removed.
I witnessed this in operation at a 12th national and its is very effective, quick reactions and knowing what to do, resulted in very little damage.
ed was lucky as he was basically carrying a bomb. if the lipo is not fully in the pouch and the bag fully sealed there is no point in using a pouch, the first thing to fail is the Velcro if any heat gets directly onto it, sealed correctly the bag will vent as its designed to retaining the fire.
speedy recovery Ed!!
