they should come up with some kinda law now so passenger / commercial vehicles should carry a fire extinguisher ...to muc cars on fire these days ...

[Redman]

Not a bad idea...maybe expand the License Test to include some basic fire fighting (in the context of car fires) and defensive driving...

Where is the best place to put it?

[Redman]

The popular spot is on the passenger door post by the wind screen-but in an accident thats likely to be right where the passenger face plants....Ive actually seen a driver buss his head on it-no seat belt and he hit a wall while turning right.

I would think in the drivers foot well-by your left thigh/knee

trunk or passenger cabin ... or both places .. in cases wher occupants are trapped , people who stop to render assistance wil know by law it should have an extinguisher in the trunk to assist in the fire frightening ,thus putting the fire to a stop before it takes over the entire car killing the occupants before the fire services arrive , but then again its Trinidad this may take 10 years to be enforced

[Redman]

locked in the trunk?

[10-01]

well i was thinking u need to have at least 2 incase the cabin is non accessible , other than the cabin it has the trunk ... then again if its law people who stop to render assistance should have access to one from ther vehicle ... also

[TheBoostLord]

I always have 2 in my trunk. The single use from bhagwansingh rated for A,B and C fires. Cost about $90. Cheap insurance imo

[Redman]

Check out Cold Fire...it's amazing
There is a local distributor....

Good question. I bought a RORO March for my mother in 2014. Nice little car perfect for her. She goes out one morning and comes home around 2pm. Parks the car in the garage and by 330om the car was on fire. Almost burn down the whole frigging house. My Accord that was parked next to it in the garage was a write off. Some electrical problem with the radiator fan is what the fire inspector concluded. So yeah, a car can randomly catch fire. Needless to say no more RORO ever again.

[INHUMAN]

Lol @ fire inspector. How does he come to that conclusion after a fire guts a car. Man prolly pull out a random cause from his bag of random causes.

It was my mothers car so I doubt the wifey was involved. But the point is that a car can burn down 'just like that'.

[Chimera]

Exactly. If she burn down your car you would know is she

This morning on the beetham.


Also there was one last night east bound on the highway by Aranguez. Epic traffic for hours. Don't know if anyone knows what happened there exactly.

[pugboy]

The cheap aircon gas has propane as a major component, so driving a car with a leaky evaporator can be quite dangerous.

What that doing in your trunk? How you reaching that incase something in the engine bay lit up? Below the passenger front seat. Just below the seat in arms range works bess.
