Fire extinguisher recommendations

Post by DEEMAN »

Hi folks, do you have any recommendations when it comes to practical, effective, long-lasting, worthwhile, etc, etc kit to have in a road car.
There seems a plether of them out there but also some very questionable ones too.

Hope I'll never have to use it!! :roll:

Ian

Thankfully I've not had the need to use them but I bought some of these to keep in my cars:

i have one of these mounts under teh front of the passenger seat .. so whatever extinguisher fits is ideal ( I say that as a lot of euro ones won't fit. I had to go to a specialist fire protection company to get a suitable extinguisher

Thank you both for your help. I did a search on DDK and much to my surprise found nothing.

But then I must learn to spell exstinguisher correctly!!! :oops:

Very interesting to read all the comments made in that thread.

Thanks folks,

Ian
