Sprinklers have been shown to be effective on car fires. Car fires can be "concealed", i.e under the bonnet or in the cab, but at least you can prevent the spread of fire.
PS. Yes, you can use foam as in aircraft hangers, but their use is deprecated because of environmental effects, unless under very controlled run-off conditions.
Has there been a mutiny and all the other passengers made to walk the plank?
Then you have concerns about PFAS.
Correct, such as AFFF.

Any chance they can just fly you SYD-MEL and claim ORC for the missed legs?Sooooo … there weee further delays to the TWB-SYD service. We departed at least 55 mins late than scheduled. As we were 3/4 way thru, the pilot informed that there’s going to be further delays getting into SYD because there’s only one runway operational and ATC have advised of delays etc … the eta to land is 2120 which is 5 mins after my SYD-CBR departs.
I spoke to the FA and they said that they’d call the captain and see what’s happening - they later came to my seat to confirm that the SYD-CBR will also be delayed. So at this point in time, I’d still make the connection …
30 more mins on air, there’s a LOT of turbulence and captain advises further delays getting into SYD. We finally land at 2130 and I immediately update my QF app and also call the premium line. Went thru to NAN, no delays. Explained my situation, they offered to put me on a SYD-MEL-LST tomorrow. But I really want to go to CBR (I’ve gotta do some work). So I told that I’ll give them a call after talking to ground staff.
I approach the gate agent at the landing gate, she said that I’m now moved to a 0745 SYD-CBR service, which I say won’t work for me because I have a 0600 CBR-MEL.
She then put me back on the original SYD- CBR that was supposed to fly tonight. But she also told me that it’s very, very likely that this will be cancelled.
I went to the gate from where SYD-CBR was boarding and there was an announcement that this service is now canceled and QF is working on accommodation and transportation etc.
So I awaited my turn, was put in Novotel with a bus waiting to take us to the hotel. Some pax were put in Ibis. So I guess I got lucky with Novotel.
Arrived at the hotel, too late to order dinner and I.was.starving! No lounge at TWB and no lounge at SYD. The friendly duty manager checked me in and I asked if I could grab something to eat. He says the kitchen is closed and we left it there. As he handed my room card, he asks if I’m a vegetarian. I says yes, he then says come back in 15 mins, I’ll ask the kitchen to make a vego pizza!

They can. It’s just that I need to drop off and pick up a few work things at CBR … so need to go to CBR.
Nah! Just a regular trip impacted by delays and cancellations …
