About 40 minutes ago. I was at work and some guy walked in and said "Man yall need to call 911, theres a motor home on fire over there." It was in the parking lot of the tire place next door, and everyone over there had already gone home. So I called 911, they came and put it out. Couldn't find the owners. But it wasnt there about 1.5 hours ago when the tire place closed. Then I called the owner of the tore place and they come pass by.

So now I'm looking into getting a small fire extinguisher to carry in the car. But i want something that wont eat away wires like Ive heard normal extinguishers do. And I dont want a big mess like the foam ones do. So what do you recommend?

lol, seems like it would do the trick. But I think my freeze spray would work better. (tear gas, mace, and pepper spray all in one.

I got one of the APC ones and hope I never have to use it, but as I found out last year at a car show, they also add value to modified cars when being judged

That's why they make 6 D-cell maglights. I call mine "The legal beater" can get arrested for a bat in the car, but not a flashlight....lol

You could get a Halon system from an old airplane, and set it up under the hood with a switch in the dash. Might be a little extreme though...

A carbon dioxide extinguisher is the way to go for what you want. This type of extinguisher can be used on Class B (Flammable or combustible liquids) or Class C (Electrical) fires. This will cover your needs in a car fire situation and best of all...it leaves no residue behind like dry chemical extinguishers and will not eat up wires either. Hope this helps.

Im thinking wither that or halon. Halon displaces oxygen so the fire goes out right? Thats what all racers use I think.
