Seeing double

[MrMike]

In some countries, well at least in my country, a fire extinguisher is obligatory by law. I think they should cancel this law for four reasons:

1. cars are much safer than in the past concerning possible fires (I don't pretend it never happens).
2. most people never check the sticker with the validity date.
3. the quantity of powder is so small, that it is often empty before the fire is extinguished
4. most people don't know how to use it

I can tell you from a firefighters perspective how useful dry chemical extinguishers are in combating electrical fires in vehicles- not particularly. You are better off disconnecting the battery first then use foam or water. We never use dry chem on vehicle fires.

a good system, but you still have to bring the burning car into the over dimensioned shopping bag!

We're always up for a challenge....this however may be beyond our current capabilities, never a lot of fun pushing burning vehicles

This would be more for lithium battery fires where the volume of water needed would be considerable and the cooling effect increased by having this under and around the vehicle.
