Baker Aviation Expands HOT-STOP Fire Containment Representation to Asia
June 4, 2015 – Addison, Texas – Baker Aviation, a full service aircraft maintenance, management and charter company in North Texas, announced that Pat Dunn has been named HOT-STOP® ‘L’ Fire Containment Kits representative for Asia.
As founder of Aviation Logistics, Mr. Pat Dunn is based in Singapore and has a passion for connecting the highest quality business aviation products and services with emerging Asian markets. Mr. Dunn will lead the HOT-STOP business development efforts with business aviation and commercial airline operations throughout Malaysia and the entire Southeast Asia region. As a 15,000 hour professional pilot with an extensive 40 year aviation career, Mr. Dunn holds 8 different business jet type ratings and an FAA Airframe and Powerplant License.
“We are privileged to have Mr. Pat Dunn, a well-respected aviation professional, represent the HOT-STOP ‘L’ Fire Containment Line in Asia,” stated Ray Goyco, Jr., President and COO for Baker Aviation. “I am confident that Pat will be instrumental in our efforts in these markets to educate operators and make sure they are prepared for any unfortunate lithium powered device runaway with HOT-STOP bags aboard their aircraft,” added Goyco.
“The interest level in our on-board fire containment products is escalating in Asia and around the globe, both with commercial airlines and private flight operations that take pride in their safety management systems,” commented Thomas Connolly, Jr., President of Industrial Energy Products (IEP), manufacturer of the HOT-STOP® ‘L’. “Our fire containment product is unique and is the only solution on the market with burn certifications so we are excited to have more representation out there to share our story and to help prevent on-board lithium battery runaway tragedies.”
The HOT-STOP® 'L' Fire Containment Bag safely contains fires, explosions and smoke emissions from Lithium Ion powered devices and has been successfully tested twice in live fire evaluations at the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey and further independently fire tested by flight departments.
The HOT-STOP® line of fire containment kits includes a set of special 14” Fire Safety Gloves and can be customized to fit the operator’s need with off-the-shelf sizes for smart phones, passenger or flight deck tablets, and laptop computers. Tailored defibrillator device covers are also available to safely contain these lithium ion battery powered devices. Due to larger devices being brought on board private aircraft, a new oversized bag was recently introduced. At 25” wide x 22” high, it is designed to contain laptops and all-in-one portable computers up to 19” wide x 14” wide x 2” in thickness.
As a commitment to their HOT-STOP ‘L’ customers, last year, Baker Aviation announced the replacement, free of charge, of any of HOT-STOP ‘L’ bag that has been deployed to contain thermal runaway of lithium ion powered devices, aboard an aircraft. Baker also offers a surrender rebate program for other competing bags by offering a $100 discount when customers surrender any other fire containment brand product at time of purchase of a new, proven and tested HOT-STOP ‘L’ lithium ion fire containment kit.
Asian operators can contact Pat Dunn in Singapore for more detail about ordering the HOT-STOP ‘L’ Fire Containment Kits by emailing him at [email protected].
