Will a Fire Extinguisher Explode in a Car?
1 Answers
Fire extinguishers generally do not explode in a car. The specific requirements for storing a vehicle fire extinguisher are as follows: 1. Storage environment: Vehicle fire extinguishers are mostly dry powder extinguishers, and the storage temperature for such extinguishers is within the range of -20°C to 55°C, so under normal circumstances, they will not explode. However, it should be noted that excessively high temperatures can cause some parts of the extinguisher to age, which can easily lead to leakage. Therefore, the storage location should avoid direct sunlight and be kept in a cool place. 2. Storage position: Store it in a readily accessible location, as this allows for quick access to the extinguisher in case of a car fire. Vehicle fire extinguishers are usually quite small, so they can be placed directly in the glove compartment or the passenger-side luggage compartment, or even under the seat. However, they should not be placed in the trunk, as in the event of a rear-end collision or a fire causing electrical failure, retrieving the extinguisher from the trunk can be very difficult.
