Default Fire extinguishers

Does anyone know of a good place to pick one up online?

I had a close call on my way to work and want to avoid seeing the car go up in flames.

fire extinguishers to carry around in your car or one to keep in the office?

i dont know about your states fire codes, but all buildings/office spaces must have fire extinguishers.

also the one people keep in their cars, are pure ricers garbage, that shit couldn't putout a camp fire.

Well ... I should not have to.

I got an alarm installed by the "master" of alarms in South Florida ... the guy that everyone recommends. It seems he is not that much of a master at all.

Somehow the alarm shorted and started a fire under the dash. I called work from the car and someone was waiting with an extinguisher.











The car is not drivable as of now, so its sitting in an empty warehouse we have. I will get me a fire extinguisher because its good to have I guess.

I am also ordering a brand new dash harness and redoing this shit myself.

It is a good idea. My dads corvette had an engine fire because he had so much pressure it blew the dipstick out and the oil hit his headers. I guess his case is sort of unique because it has 750 rwhp so my shirt had to put out the fire.

Get the Haltron, alot of us track guys use it. Unlike other extinguishers, the chemical won't ruin whatever you're spraying.
