What type of fire extinguisher is best for cars?
1 Answers
It is recommended to use a dry powder fire extinguisher or a water-based fire extinguisher in cars. According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity for vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers is one kilogram. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, owners can choose one between 1 to 3 kilograms. Additionally, since the storage conditions for in-car fire extinguishers are not ideal, it is best to opt for a dry powder or water-based fire extinguisher. The usage guidelines for dry powder fire extinguishers are as follows: 1. Before use, the fire extinguisher should be thoroughly shaken several times to ensure the powder inside is loosened; 2. Pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle with your hand, and aim the fire extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flame; 3. Press the handle of the fire extinguisher firmly, at which point the dry powder will be expelled from the nozzle.
