Safety First!

Do you have one of these in your trailer? I did not until today. These are cheap on flea-bay. Everyone should have one handy.

Got one in my car.

Ha Ha A buddy of mine had a battery cable connected to the winch short out last year and start a little fire. It was pretty exciting for a while!

I fireballed my old Mach1 in the lights at Clay City about 15 years ago...took me this long to get a fire extinguisher! doh!

Most definitely. 10 lb mounted on my trailer and for driver safety 10 lb system with 3 nozzles.

I have one in the car....hope i never need it

we have 2 as soon as we get the car out i park the 20lb at the door for ready use and we carry a 5lb on our scooter just in case.i am working on getting one put in the car real soon.

What's really crazy....at a NHRA race the safety safari makes you remove the one from your car. I've never understood that???

they dont want you to do their job for them.

they probably made you remove it because of your bracket , without a proper bracket in the event of a crash the fire extingusher becomes missle in the car

x2, Frank makes a good point.

If you have a removable dry chem type extinguisher in the race car with the "quick release" type bracket they normally have, this type bracket can easily pop open during a wreck freeing the extinguisher to possibly beat the crap out of the driver during a violent wreck.

The fixed placement Halon type race car extinguisher systems are allowed because they are mounted in a permanent bracket(s) that can't ever "pop open", wreck or not. You don't remove this type extinguisher from the mounting bracket to use them, you just push/pull a button or T-handle to open the extinguisher valve.

You would probably have to buy a new one every two years.

no need for one Lee, your lack of a window net nor the cumbersome fire jacket getting in the way will make exiting the vehicle in case of a fire speedy enough to not worry about being burned lol.
