PSA: Fire extinguisher

Here is how I started my day.
Luckily I had fire extinguishers in about 5-10 minutes.

The little ones they sell at Walmart or the parts store were woefully insufficient though. It took three and a few random bottles of water that were laying in the truck to get it out.

This is the only vehicle I own that didn't have an extinguisher in it.

Do yourself a favor and put a big extinguisher in your vehicles. Two good samaritans were unable to help as they didn't have an extinguisher either.

I'm sorry for your misfortune and I'm glad it wasn't worse.

I've used enough ABC extinguishers in my career to know that they SUCK and are MESSY. Plus, a lot of people don't know that the agent inside can settle and "cake up" if you don't agitate the unit periodically.

Like mentioned before, I'm transitioning to the "Element" extinguishers for my vehicles. Only downside is they're pricy.
