Is a Fire Extinguisher Mandatory in Vehicles?
1 Answers
Medium-sized and above passenger vehicles, as well as hazardous goods transport vehicles, must be equipped with fire extinguishers. Below are specific details regarding vehicle fire extinguisher requirements: 1. Choose between dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers: When purchasing a vehicle fire extinguisher, opt for a 1-3 kg model. Given the suboptimal storage conditions inside vehicles, dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers are recommended. 2. Usage guidelines: Before use, thoroughly shake the extinguisher several times to loosen the dry powder inside. Remove the safety pin, hold the nozzle (or support the base if it's a tubeless extinguisher), and aim at the base of the flame. Press the handle firmly to release the extinguishing agent.
