Vehicle Fire Extinguishers
Vehicle fires can start from various sources, such as diesel or petrol, upholstery, or items being transported. This means you need a portable extinguisher that’s suitable for class A, B, and C fires.
For petrol or diesel vehicles, dry powder (ABC) fire extinguishers are most suitable because they can put out flammable liquid fires as well as those caused by upholstery or flammable gases. They are also safe to use on small electrical fires.
In an EV or hybrid vehicle, you could also experience a battery fire - in which case you’ll need a specialist lithium-ion fire extinguisher. All vehicle fire extinguishers should be stored securely and easy to access.
