My attempt at green avionics recycling almost set off the hangar alarms

Recycling avionics wire can get fiery if you're not careful, lol.

The real danger is the chemical smoke from burning insulation, not just the flames. That stuff can ruin sensitive electronics in the whole building.

'Small workshop fire' sounds serious, but it's probably exaggerated. These wire recycling attempts often just make a bit of smoke. It's not worth freaking out over.

Friend's recycling attempt sparked a small workshop fire.
