Maybe there was "an" extinguisher, but was it the right type? Was it water, CO2, foam or powder? If the wrong one for a fuel fire was there, then not using it was the right thing to do, which then begs the question, of where the right extinguisher was?

 

the extinguisher was a powder one ... and yes i have been trained to use them as i work with chemicals on a refinery .. before anyone asks :wink: ... and i was maybe the closest to the fire been stood outside the cafe

I think you'll find water will extinguish a methanol fire (see link)

I can't believe some of the posts I have read on here!

If a rider doesn't go into a meeting Believing he stood a chance of winning then he may as well not turn up.

So much of Speedway is about confidence, you need to believe in yourself to be able to throw yourself round those corners at the speed they do.

I've never been a fan of riders like Barker and Bridger purely because of the way they conduct themselves off track but its this arrogance that gives them the belief in themselves to make them ride the way they do and they would be nowhere without it.

Jerran is a fantastic prospect who is currently overflowing with confidence and rightly so after some great performances last season. I wouldn't put him in with people like Barker though, I've never seen or heard of him causing trouble and only ever heard good comments regarding his behaviour and team spirit.

at the end of the day somebody, somehow, somewhere messed up{ re the fire} but who do we point the finger at?who is going to hold there hands up and say i was to blame.over to you ref would you like give us your side of the story?

 

I think you will find that the SCB forbids the referees from ever appearing on a forum like this to give their reasons.

 

Rugger! I'd love to see what McGregor's report says. Will he be big enough to carry the can or will he coat himself in teflon and blame someone else? One thing's for sure, the issue is now too well known to be not mentioned at all.
