Water was only for little fires had a co2 and powder next to me when I was going the chassis just incase but I didn't want to use them apart from a last resort due to mess.
fire!.............
LZers know the meaning of the word
I spent a lesieurly 3 months under my disco the other year with my mig and sheet metal fabrication skills.
always had a "propper" fire extingusher on hand for emergancys,
but any little flare ups were covered by a splash with a watering can full of water.
aim and pour easily
summit to think about before you become a fireball is a personal risk assesment (BIG words for basic simplicity) before you start work on any particuler area.
Items that always "worry" me are bulkhead/underdash areas,
und floors under seats (full of combustable fluff stuff)
go look see !
move flammables away, if not, give em a bit of a splash with the water first - its so much less messier then charred stuff later on..
If your a tad worried, then enlist a helper to firewatch,
coz if your under ya landy welding upwards, its the insides that`ll be glowing hot....
bucket of water is the first resort when welding... easy to use and no mess to clear up helps to have a waterbutt or old bath full of water reasonably close aswell. you should always hang arround for half an hour after finishing the last weld if it aint smoking by then its unlikely to.
removing combustuble things like carpets when youre welding underneath is just common sense.
you just got to take a few moments to think about what youre doing before you start.

just another thought .... in my limited vexperience it aint been the welding thats the problem ,,, the stream of sparks from a 9 inch angle grinder will set fire to straw bales and set off the hydrogen from a charging battery, ive seen the results of both and it wernt pretty.

Cheers guys. Plenty of good info here. Looks like ill have to get cooking some bacon and welding at the same time. Two bonuses, I won't go hungry and smells nice. I can match the sounds too.

the hindenburgh fame, or was that flame saw that too...
one of my bestest tools is my 4 1/2 inch grinder but I use the very thin body shop cutting discs,
still ooodles of sparks, but gets in closer, lighter to use, and bettererer fer me old bones too

as my daughters say
"that`ll do it!"
I use `em fer almost every thing I need to cut now as long as the dia of the disc cuts it gets used to cut..

Same apart from where the. 9 inched needs to attack it
they wear out quicker but worth it
