Can Fire Extinguishers Be Placed in the Trunk?

[EmilianoAnn]

Fire extinguishers can be placed in the trunk, just avoid direct sunlight. There are typically three locations for placing a car fire extinguisher: 1. Under the driver's seat; 2. Under the front passenger seat; 3. Inside the trunk. It is crucial to secure the fire extinguisher properly in the car, as vehicle vibrations can easily cause accidents with the extinguisher. Car fire extinguishers are either dry powder or water-based. Dry powder extinguishers act quickly but are polluting and corrosive. Water-based extinguishers can handle all types of fires except Class D metal fires, are non-polluting and harmless to humans, and are particularly effective against Class B liquid fires, making them suitable for extinguishing engine and car fires.
