They make a bag designed to contain a laptop that’s on fire and a glove to put it in the bag. I think this safety equipment should be required on planes

Edit I should have read the article before committing the first thing that popped in my head

"Flight crew put the burning object in a fire bag to prevent the fire from spreading, the department said. The fire did not spread to the plane."

From the article.

All planes are required to have these bags for every flight.

They literally used one of those bags to isolate the fire. The feds don’t require them. This is a perfect example of spending the money necessary on safety by choice.
