New Atwood Refrigerator a big improvement on fire safety

You may want to check out the following articles ( http://www.aegiforensics.com/library/pdfs/Invest-Absorpt-Refrig-Fires-Part1.pdf and http://www.aegiforensics.com/library/pdfs/Invest-Absorpt-Refrig-Fires-Part2.pdf). The use of helium rather than hydrogen seriously reduces the risk of fire from the refrigerator as the only other source of fire would be an electrical fire because ammonia is not considered flammable by the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations. Ford's RV Service & Training Center has been evaluating the new Atwood refrigerators side by side with it's major competitor and has seen very good performance results.
