Show Me Your In Cabin Fire Extinguishers Please!, Stuck! Looking For Some Creative Ideas Options

[Lucky9146]

Ok, I got this cool center pull hand break (not my idea) but I sure like it there.
Now with that said, I have some real estate limitations shall we say.
I'd sure appreciate seeing what you guys have done, type, and the size you have selected etc.
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Just my opinion from 30 plus years as a career Firefighter.
# Those small plastic tip Fire Extinguishers are junk
# They don’t put out much of a Fire
# The dry chemical Fire Ext can damage your Elec systems
# The bigger the better

I mounted my Ext in the front truck because you want to separate yourself as quickly as possible from a rear engine fire and you can mount a larger Ext.
The extinguishers I have are a Purple K “great for fuel and metal fires” and a Halotron which is a replacement for Halon “great for Elec fires”. You can find these on Amazon.
Trust me you want a larger Fire Extinguisher, those little ones shoot there load in seconds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) and then your screwed when the fire flashes back. You put big money in your car so spend a little more for Fire Protection. And yes I know if I am in a front end crash I am screwed.

Man, it sure pays to ask a question. I was just looking for input on what others did to mount a fire extinguisher inside the car. I received way more than I hoped for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
Lots of real good info has been posted here and I can see others are rethinking some of their particular situations. I too had a fire but in a VW years ago and it is an awful experience. I appreciate the input from Coondog with his years of fire fighter experience. I will follow his lead on the 2 extinguisher approach and larger ones as well, as it just makes sense to me.

I want to thank everyone who posted so far and hope others can also benefit from this thread.

Edit to add that I was impressed with the on board systems food for thought. Thanks

If you haven't already I hope you will visit my thread. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=261197

I currently have this ABC extinguisher but I think I'm going to be shopping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
