Where is the car fire extinguisher usually placed in the car?

[LaAlan]

Car fire extinguishers are generally stored directly in the armrest box or the luggage compartment on the passenger side. When signs of spontaneous combustion are detected, the extinguisher can be promptly used to put out the fire. Since vehicle fire extinguishers are typically compact in size, they can be placed in easily accessible locations. However, they should not be stored in the trunk, as it can be extremely difficult to retrieve the extinguisher in case of a rear-end collision or electrical failure caused by spontaneous combustion. Currently, portable fire extinguishers are commonly used for automotive fire safety. The main types of vehicle fire extinguishers available on the market include: dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. Although there is no mandatory requirement for private cars to be equipped with fire extinguishers in China, it is advisable for private car owners to carry one as a precautionary measure. The choice of extinguisher should be based on the vehicle model and size, considering factors such as cost, safety, and efficiency to ensure the appropriate type is selected.
