What Type of Fire Extinguisher Should Be Used for Vehicle Fires?
1 Answers
For vehicle fires, use dry powder fire extinguishers and water-based fire extinguishers. Start with the water-based extinguisher first. If the water-based extinguisher is exhausted and the fire is not yet extinguished, then use the dry powder fire extinguisher. The advantage of this approach is that water-based extinguishers are easy to clean up and do not pollute the environment. Dry powder fire extinguishers are fast and effective in extinguishing fires and have a wide range of applications. Water-based fire extinguishers are primarily composed of RO purified water, featuring no dust, anti-suffocation, excellent fire-extinguishing performance, and being non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Fire extinguishers should be placed within easy reach of the driver, such as under the seat. If it is impossible to place the extinguisher under the driver's seat, ensure it is securely fastened when stored in the trunk.
