Tool for Window Break in Boat?

[DevilEyeDog]

I know this will seem to many like paranoia, but given the amount of dive boat fires, does anyone carry a window break tool? I don't know what would work as I believe the windows on a boat are not glass. I understand that most rooms on a liveaboard do not have windows, but assuming you're staying in a room with a window does anyone have any window break tools that can be transported on a plane?

Thanks!

I can't help you with just the tool, mine came in a pouch with my parachute

Recent trip to Thailand my cabin had a tool mounted on the wall right next to the door and window

You can either ask if they have them or find one of those pocket size ones that sometimes have a pen on the other side.

Use the fire extinguisher if they have one.
Every room should

The (car) window break tools only work on tempered glass.
Those tools would be useless if it were laminated glass, or any form of plastic.

I think that most people would have difficulty breaking one of the below deck windows with a car tool or fire extinguisher. What you buy to break a car window would most likely not work. Best to have another plan. I prefer at least a mask and torch, but that too might just delay the inevitable. I had training to get out of an upside down vessel, in the water and it was not easy. I'd really prefer a "spare air type of devise" , mask and torch.

The windows in my boat are 1/2" thick laminated safety glass. It would be much easier to just open it.
