Things to note when placing a fire extinguisher in a car
Fire extinguishers are something that should be available in every car because they can put out fires when they occur in vehicles. But there are also rules that we should know when using fire extinguishers for cars.
Choose a car fire extinguisher
There are three things to keep in mind when placing a fire extinguisher in your car. First, secure the extinguisher with a mounting system. Second, do not let your car interior get too hot. Finally, keep the fire extinguisher away from direct sunlight.
Experts recommend that we use carbon dioxide fire extinguishers for our cars. They are filled with non-flammable carbon dioxide gas which is environmentally friendly and above all, friendly to the car engine.
