Technical who carry’s a fire extinguisher?

I thought I had better get a fire extinguisher in the single seater and there is no room to put it so I made some oak brackets and mounted it to the steering column.
Show me where u put your extinguisher.

 

Me no. I'm guessing most here do though.

 

Yep!

 

I always carry at least 1 and anyone is welcome to use it if it is needed.

 

...always carry em in my old cars, better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have it....nice job on yours

 

Everything, daily, winter beater.. fun car
In the Shop 5 , All at eye level..

 

As a retired firefighter I'm telling you that if you don't have one you're a fool.

 

One in the trunk. Shows at one time they were mandatory.

 

So not to hijack thread,but could we what kind/size. I have a old one but have no idea what to buy now days

 

Definitely carry one after a buddy had his 66 big block roadster Vette burn to the ground...

 

Got one mounted right behind my seat. Snowman

 

I carry one as well. In all my old cars. I’m thinking of upgrading them all to larger ones soon.

I’d rather have too much than not enough!!!!

 

since 1957

 

Put one in my 60 Vette right in front of the pass seat. Couldn't find anyplace else to put it. Bought a good one too. my car is well insured , but I would hate to loose it. She's a good ole girl !

 

I always carry one. My daily driver has it behind the drivers seat, easy to grab. Even though the Comet is not finished yet I just bought a new Hal Guard for it, it will be mounted between the seats on the tunnel. I have at least a dozen of them in the shop, every wall has one, the machine room has two, the storage room has one also. I also have a smoke alarm hard wired to the alarm system.

 

I think they look cool in a hot rod, custom....meh

 

Yep hope I never need it.

 

Under the seat in my '39 p/u. I bought one with an ABC rating, good for all types of fires.

 

I always carry an ABC rated fire extinguisher.

 

I carry a large commercial fire extinguisher in both cars, I started carrying a big fire extinguisher after Randy's roadster caught fire sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, his small on board extinguisher ran out before the fire did resulted in a lot of unnecessary damage, had it not been for a young man at a service station seeing everything playing out and grab the commercial unit from the service bay and had the fire out before the car was a total loss.

I am another member of the, "You are a fool if you don't carry a fire extinguisher in your hot rod or custom"

 

Yessir, one in each vehicle. On the floor in front of the driver and not in the trunk.

 

Have you ever seen my wiring jobs ??? I always have 2 "up to date" ABC fire extinguishers in my hot rods

 

I have been wanting to put one in the 55 tbird. That is my project for tomorrow.

 

Good, I hope this thread got your juices flowing. Better safe than sorry!

 

Fire extinguisher huh⁉️ Thought you wanted flames on that speedster ⁉️ . Got one in the coupe right behind the seat .....

 

The wife’s 56 Chev caught fire due to a burst fuel line a while back, very,very pleased we carry them in our cars. Could of been sooo much worst.

 

Yes. Where you can grab it as a driver, in a panic. Powder.

Makes a godawful mess but less of one than fire does.

I'll get you out of a pinch but if it wants to burn bad, it's gonna burn and if you can use it to make sure everybody gets out safely, then at a distance it can burn. At the end of the day it's metal and memories, sweat and tears but it's only a car and that can be replaced. You can't say that of life.

Edit: Can you tell I have a few good friends who are firefighters?

 

Yup, got one under the dash on the passenger side. Pretty easy to get at.

 

In my '31 Model A coupe, yes. Some of the others, no. In others, yes.
