Can Water-Based Fire Extinguishers Be Placed in Cars?
1 Answers
Water-based fire extinguishers can be placed in vehicles, as they remain stable below 170 degrees Celsius. It is generally recommended to store them under the car seats or in the trunk to avoid direct sunlight. However, if the extinguisher is already over-pressurized, it can be dangerous. Therefore, after purchasing a fire extinguisher, it is advisable to check the pressure gauge at the end of each month to ensure it is within the normal range (neither in the red nor yellow zones). Water-Based Fire Extinguishers: Water-based fire extinguishers include water-type extinguishers, foam-type extinguishers, and mist-type extinguishers, each serving different purposes. Functions of Water-Based Fire Extinguishers: Water-based mist extinguishers are typically used for electrical fires, while water-based foam extinguishers are suitable for fires caused by fuel leaks. Using a water-based extinguisher not only quickly suppresses the fire but also reduces the likelihood of reignition. The water mist generated during use evaporates quickly, causing no pollution and making the scene easier to clean up.
