Baker Aviation Updates Hot-Stop L Fire Containment Kit

North Texas-based Baker Aviation, exclusive distributor for the Hot-Stop ‘L’ fire containment kits manufactured by Industrial Energy Products, has introduced the new Hot Stop ’L’ Evolution which has an added zipper closure.  

IEP president Thomas Connolly said, “The ability to quickly and efficiently contain fire and smoke is always priority one in an emergency on board any aircraft. There is nothing else on the market that can match the agility and light weight with which Hot-Stop will contain a runaway [lithium-ion battery] device.”

The Hot-Stop 'L' fire containment kit safely contains fires, explosions and smoke emissions from lithium-ion powered devices without using a water supply; however, Hot-Stop products allow for the use of waterif operators comply with the FAA's safety recommendations. The kit has been successfully demonstrated twice in live fire evaluations at the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City, N.J., and has also been independently tested by flight departments and airlines.
