Art Museum.

    Can you tell us the latest recommendation for the type of
    hand-held fire extinguisher to use in fine art collection areas
    including the galleries? The Registrar's list has posted Type A.
    Is this correct? We are looking at two types of Amerex hand-held
    fire extinguishers: Halon 1211 and Water Mist Model 272. Does
    anyone have another suggestion?
