Which Type of Car Fire Extinguisher is Better?
1 Answers
According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity for vehicle fire extinguishers is one kilogram. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, it is advisable to choose one with a capacity of 1-3 kilograms. Additionally, since the storage conditions for fire extinguishers in vehicles are not ideal, it is best to opt for dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers. Below are the instructions for using a dry powder fire extinguisher: 1. Before use, thoroughly shake the extinguisher several times to loosen the dry powder inside the cylinder. 2. Remove the safety pin and hold the nozzle with your hand (for hose-less extinguishers, support the base of the bottle with your hand), then aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. 3. Press the handle firmly to release the dry powder from the nozzle.
