Fire Extinguisher Recommendation? - Toyota Yaris Forums

stran · 12-09-2008, 02:24 PM

I'm looking to install a fire extinguisher in my car. I hope I'll never have to use it, but if I do need it, it's nice to have one. I'm looking for something that has a sturdy mount that will last through years of daily driving without interfering legroom too much. Mounting it under the seat like in the picture looks attractive.

Any recommendations? The only model I can find is http://www.firstalert.com/fire_extin...tem.php?pid=32

I carry a 5lb General Halon 1211 extinguisher in my Xterra (it was required to have one for a beach permit that I got a few years ago). The nice thing about Halon is that if you ever have to actually use it, it doesn't leave any residue.

The only thing I know about fire extinguishers, is that you should get one that is a class A/B/C. It'll do wood, electical, something else... I forget lol.
