Is a Fire Extinguisher Necessary in the Car?
1 Answers
Medium-sized and larger passenger vehicles, as well as hazardous goods transport vehicles, must be equipped with fire extinguishers. Below are specific details about car fire extinguishers: 1. Choose a dry powder or water-based fire extinguisher: When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, opt for one weighing 1-3 kilograms. Given the less-than-ideal storage conditions inside the car, 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 the base of the canister for tube-less extinguishers), and aim the nozzle at the base of the flames. Press the handle firmly to release the dry powder from the nozzle for fire suppression.
