5 Reasons Why You Must Have Fire Extinguisher In Your Car by Godspower35(m): 5:43pm On Sep 12, 2019 |
Every year, there are many car crashes that cause hundreds of lives and cause untold damage. It would not cost anything if we have this important material in our vehicles. A fire extinguisher in your vehicle can help you fight a vehicle fire. There are several reasons why a fire extinguisher in your vehicle can be helpful in a fire. 1. Avoid serious accidents caused by small fires Most vehicle fires start small and are generally caused by electrical or mechanical problems. If you pass quickly and use your fire extinguisher right away, you can avoid a much more serious and potentially fatal accident. Other people in your car can also use the fire extinguisher to extinguish a small fire much faster, so you are not even forced to wait for it to use. 2. Reduces vehicle damage Fires can cause serious damage, and having a fire extinguisher handy can save you a lot of money on this type of property damage. If you extinguish the fire before it reaches the gas tank, you can avoid potentially large explosions. If you ruin your vehicle completely, it can probably cause damage to the area surrounding the accident. 3. You can use it in other places A fire extinguisher in your vehicle can also be useful if you discover flames in other locations outside your vehicle. It can be helpful with small fires on other properties or even while camping or visiting a park. You never know when an emergency situation will occur in which there is a fire. That's why it's important to be prepared. 4. You can use it to help the needy on the roadside If another person is involved in an accident while traveling, you can use your fire extinguisher to help with the handling of the flames. This not only helps the person concerned, but also the rescue workers, who have to deal with injury-related problems and may not have time to deal with a small car fire. 5. It gives you peace Fortunately, newer cars have fewer problems with fires unless there is a very serious malfunction. Sometimes it's enough to know that you can take care of a fire when it happens. Fires can cause serious damage and a fire extinguisher can be a very re-assuring feeling. POINTS TO NOTE: Fire extinguisher is a vital material we must have in our vehicles. If we have this,we can definitely attend to any fire disaster.

pocohantas: bigger question is will they actually work effectively if your car is on fire. i always talk about how i worked in downstream. in a station, you have one 9kg extingusher per stanchion.we typically empty two extinguishers on a car that has caught fire. meanwhile, the extinguisher we carry in a car is 1.3 kg or so, if i recall. na for show las las. you should have in your house though. i better go and replenish. last sallah my son almost set the house on fire when he was grilling something in the cooker and forgetting that his mum [na so you women dey do] had stored cooking oil in the oven compartment. the oil heated, ignited,cooker had flames coming out of it, kitchen was full of smoke. i discharged the extinguisher, but all that happened was the fire would go out the go on again. eventually i had to do it the local way, went out, got sand and poured it on the burning pot of oil 7 Likes |

Had fire out break in my car some months ago, over 2 fire extinguishers from good Nigerians plus mine couldn't put out the fire. Guess what worked eventually? one sachet water. Guys, always have a keg of water in your car. 2 Likes |

I will advise that blankets should always be available, my car would have gone up in flames about 4 months ago but for the help of blankets, just cover the fire with it and put a little pressure, my peeps it works. Fire extinguisher expires without so many drivers knowledge. Some even buy expired extinguisher without knowing. |
