Be very careful about using Halon in the "passenger forward to firewall"

of Halon which works by depleting oxygen.  Not a great idea in an enclosed
space.  You may want to consider a different type of extinguisher for the
cabin area.

David Carter responded:

It has been and continues to be used precisely because it can be used in
cockpits and cabins with people in them.  That does not imply that you
want to stay there for an extended time after discharge.  Best to go to
the website and read the many good articles posted there which explain
all this stuff.   All I know is what I have read.  I do believe that the
folks who have responded about danger to humans being sufficient that
use of Halon is "unsafe" need to read more.
