Where to Place a Fire Extinguisher in the Car?
1 Answers
Fire extinguishers should be placed near the driver's seat in a location that is easy to access, such as under the driver's or passenger's seat. They should not be placed in the trunk, as fighting a fire requires quick action, and storing the extinguisher in the trunk would delay response time. Currently, most car fire extinguishers are small and of questionable quality, only suitable for very minor fires. It is recommended to carry a 3kg to 5kg ABC dry powder or water foam extinguisher, which are more effective against solid, liquid, gas, and electrical fires. The main types of car fire extinguishers on the market include dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers.
