Friday night, when I got up there I really wanted to have a big fire. And indeed I did, between the scrap wood pile that was at the campsite and the big bag of burnables I brought from home.
Taken on Friday April 17, 2020 at East Branch Sacandaga River.On January 1, 1994, production and import of virgin halons were phased out in the United States. Since that time, recycled halons are the only supply of halons in the United States for specialty fire suppression applications. While alternatives are available for most halon-based fire extinguishing applications c, halons are still employed for important applications such as on civil aircraft, in legacy military systems, and for oil and gas exploration. Sources of recycled halons include stockpiles and recovered agent from cylinders collected from decommissioned systems both in the United States and abroad.
The fire suppression agent, Halon is still in use today; however, there is no new production of Halons. While Halon is considered a clean agent by The National Fire Protection Association because it’s electrically non-conducting and does not leave a residue, Halon has an extremely high potential for ozone depletion and contributes to global warming potential. On January 1, 1994, Halon production ceases in compliance with the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The use of Halons has been reducing over the years, but there is still demand for it for specific applications.
Isn't this the most appealing landscape in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. The railing is designed to keep people from crashing their 2,000 lb bicycles into the upper fingers of Rensselaer Lake.
