Where is the fixed halon fire extinguisher located on the CRJ 700?

The fixed halon fire extinguisher on the CRJ 700 is located in the lavatory behind the trash bin. This is a strategic placement, as lavatories can be potential fire hazards due to the presence of combustible materials such as paper products and waste. Having a fixed fire extinguishing system in this area aids in quickly suppressing any fire that might occur, minimizing risk to passengers and crew and maintaining the overall safety of the aircraft.

The other locations mentioned do not align with safety standards and operational protocols. For instance, having it in the cockpit could pose a danger if the crew were unable to access it quickly in an emergency. Similarly, placing the extinguisher underneath the passenger seats or near the service door would not be practical for addressing fires that may arise in the lavatory. Thus, the placement behind the trash bin is specifically designed to enhance safety within the aircraft.
