Fire Extinguishers for Cars

[OTEP]

ricey nga.. kung wala naman provision for that thing eh ricey nga.. pwede naman sa likod ilagay eh..

sana yung tire jack at wrench eh ilagay naman nya sa driver side...

btw, yung Kia Besta EST Limited 2.7 may provision for fire extinguisher sa likod nakalagay.. OEM yun...

All Korean and Chinese vans have a provision for a fire extinguisher. Yep, on my former Besta, dun ko sa provision nilagay yung fire extinguisher. On the newer Starex nasa ilalim na siya ng driver's seat. Same case with newer European cars so the driver can use the extinguisher as a means of escape. Pwede na din pambasag ng side windows should they be trapped inside.

But NEVER put the fire extinguisher on the vehicle's a-pillar if you intend to use the vehicle with a front passenger on board. In the event of a crash or rollover, the front passenger's head can strike the pillar and the sharp edges of the fire extinguisher mechanism can cause more injury.

In race cars, it's ok to put it there because there is no front passenger.
