What Is The Best Fire Extinguisher To Carry In Your Car?

Short of actually having a Halon system built in to your vehicle - no civilian should be using anything other than a simple ABC on a street car. They work on just about anything, just about anyone can use one, plentiful and cheap.


Additionally, although extinguisher training is very simple, it actually does help - most local fire departments will be more than happy to give you a quick class. We just gave one yesterday to an industrial company based out at the port, very simple, yet everyone in attendance agreed that they learned something.

-On the off chance you're still considering a Halon or other type of system get some training, and HOPE everyone around you knows exactly how to use it as well - not only could you lose life/property, in some jurisdictions you could be held liable if a bystander tries to help you and injures themselves because they thought your extinguisher was "just like all the others"

And now I'll step off my soapbox.
