Wow, good looking out Chad!

I need a fire extinguisher for the vehicle, and was set to research and buy this weekend, so great timing^^^. Anyone got a recommendation? It will be secured inside a T4R (somehow).

I would suggest at least 5lb. Avoid the extinguishers with plactic handles, etc. The extinguishers with metal parts are generally better quality.

There will be lots of input on this subject but the best advice I can give is make sure you investigate the difference between a class A,B&C vs a B,C. There is lots of information about the corrosiveness of the ABC and thats why just to be safe I cary both, and as said above never buy a fire extinguisher that has a plastic valve head.
