Ever since the train bombings in Madrid in March of last year and the Kings Cross fire, London, fires on a train or the metro are an ever present thought.

I spent over 90 mintues commuting each way to work on the Parisian metro. To that end I carry two bandanas and two torches. I just feel that maybe I should upgrade and go for the EVACU 8+ system. At least I'll have more than a fair chance of getting past the smoke. If I'm still breathing and upright of course.

Interesting to note though there didn't seem to be much in the way of fire reported or smoke for that matter, or is it still to early to get the full picture.
