Fire Extinguishers

In 50+ years of driving I’ve never kept a fire extinguisher in my vehicle. Passed a few cars that had been on fire but never needed one. In my limited experience, views on fire extinguishers for vehicles fall into two camps. The “Why Bother” guys argue that you don’t know if the thing works without trying it and even if it does it won’t be strong enough to put out a ‘real fire.’ The “Why Not” camp (me) use the NRA logic of “Better to have a fire extinguisher and not need it…”

I purchased one for my truck because I’d hate to be standing there watching my truck burn up with my pecker (Pecker is a cheap brand of Chinese extinguisher) in my hand when I might have saved it.

I went for the H3R Performance HG100C HalGuard Chrome Clean Agent Fire Extinguisher. This little rascal (1.4 pounds) fits nicely in the small cab of the truck.
