Should Cars Carry Fire Extinguishers?

[VanWalker]

For safety reasons, it is recommended to equip vehicles with fire extinguishers. Below is relevant information: 1. Regulations: Medium and above passenger vehicles, as well as hazardous goods transport vehicles, must be equipped with valid fire extinguishers and firefighting equipment. Failure to comply may result in warnings or fines. Although there are no mandatory requirements for private cars to carry fire extinguishers, during annual vehicle inspections, a fire extinguisher must be present in the vehicle; otherwise, the inspection will not pass. 2. Fire Extinguishers: Common causes of car fires include electrical fires and fuel leakage fires. For electrical fires, water-based mist extinguishers are more effective; for fuel fires, water-based foam extinguishers are preferable. Dry powder extinguishers, with their good versatility and wide applicability, are suitable for both types of fires mentioned above.
