What Type of Fire Extinguisher Should Be Placed in a Car?
1 Answers
It is sufficient to place a 1 to 3 kg fire extinguisher in a car. Considering the suboptimal storage conditions inside the vehicle, it is advisable to opt for a dry powder or water-based fire extinguisher. Guidelines for using a dry powder fire extinguisher: 1. Before use, shake the extinguisher thoroughly several times to loosen the dry powder inside the cylinder; 2. Remove the safety pin, hold the nozzle with your hand, and aim it at the base of the flame; 3. Press the handle firmly to release the dry powder from the nozzle. The main types of vehicle fire extinguishers available in the market include dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. Vehicle fire extinguishers are specifically designed for use in cars.
