I've got one that is large and inconvenient. I still haven't found a good place for it in my truck. Usually just toss it on the passenger floor when I go wheeling.

I've been kind of curious about these https://dasmule.com/products/elements-e50-fire-exstingusher?_pos=1&_sid=cc7440461&_ss=r

First.... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that a fire extinguisher be fastened and secured to something with a quick release extinguisher bracket or velcro!  You do NOT want a 2, 5, or 10 lb. extinguisher flying around inside a vehicle!!


A good high quality 2.5 lbs ABC should be adequate for an auto fire, or campfire fire, etc.  A 5 lb. one would be my choice.

If you are overly concerned about possible damage caused by ammonium phosphate, you can always heat up your credit card with one filled with halon. :thumbs:

If you have ever been in a fire or had to discharge a fire extinguisher you know how short of time they actually work.... typically 5 to 15 seconds.  A fire can be very "large and inconvenient"!
