More on Fire Extinguisher for Cars & Vans

What type of fire extinguisher is best for cars and vans?

The recommended extinguisher for vehicles is a dry powder extinguisher. It can deal with fuel fires, oils, upholstery and electrical faults, making it ideal for engine bays and interior compartments.

Where should a fire extinguisher be mounted in a vehicle?

It should be mounted in a location that’s easy to reach quickly, such as:

Beside the driver’s seat
Inside the cab
On a load area panel
Avoid placing it loose in the boot where access may be slower during an emergency.

Are fire extinguishers compulsory in cars or vans?

They’re not required by UK law for private vehicles, but are strongly recommended, especially for work vans, company vehicles, caravans, taxis and fleet vehicles. Many fleet and insurance policies require one to be carried.
