It is necessary to equip a car with a fire extinguisher. According to relevant regulations: medium and above passenger vehicles and hazardous goods transport vehicles should be equipped with fire extinguishers and fire-fighting equipment within the validity period. Although there is no mandatory requirement for private cars to have fire extinguishers, during the annual vehicle inspection, a fire extinguisher must be placed in the car, otherwise the inspection cannot be passed. For safety reasons, it is recommended to equip the car with a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguishers for cars include dry powder fire extinguishers and water-based fire extinguishers. Among them, dry powder fire extinguishers are fast and effective, with a wide range of applications; water-based fire extinguishers are further divided into water-based clean water fire extinguishers, water-based foam fire extinguishers, and water-based mist fire extinguishers, which are dust-free, anti-suffocation, effective in extinguishing fires, and non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
