There a substitutes like Halotron that work well to put out turbine fires.

I've bought and had installed one of these systems since then. It is in ASH26E #26012.
Features list includes: MIL-SPEC quality Halon 1211 or 1301.
Available at Aircraft Spruce, but for horizontal mounting in gliders you need a dip tube similar to aerobatic fuel tanks. Spruce can't do that, Safecraft can.
