I picked up a Tundra Fire Extinguisher at Home Depot for $12.99. It' small and claims to have 3X the fire fighting spray time as an ordinary extinguisher.
Google has a lot of sales info but not a lot of reviews. The spec sheet doesn't show an A/B/C rating because it's 'not a traditional' extinguisher. Then I found a Fox news report from the Dallas Fire Department, showing them putting out a gasoline fire. The fireman said the usage distance was closer and on a large fire that's a problem. Otherwise, he gave it a "Deal" and not a dud. Instructions say 3-4 feet usage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JV-R1H0E_w...feature=related Has anyone used one or familiar with this one? I think if the fire is still in the engine compartment, then it's probably a good thing, but if the back 1/2 of the car is on fire, then....so what? It's a fire department issue then. What Say You??
