Fire Extinguisher

[medic]

Last night I was on my way to Barrie when the car in front of me began smoking. They pulled over, and flames began to creep from the wheel well and hood. The driver got out and I grabbed my 5 lb'er to try and fight the fire - to no avail. Within a minute or so, the entire vehicle was consumed. The coolest part was when the drive shaft blew and then the gas tank - KABOOM.



Note the empty extinguisher at the X and yellow dry powder under the Beetle.

Now I'm left without my extinguisher. I found an older 2 lb'er and have that in the X for now, but after seeing how fast and large the fire spread, I won't feel comfortable till I can get another 5 lb'er. If you plan on getting any cool toys for the truck, an extinguisher should be at the TOP of your list.



The red can is the used one, the white one on the right is the new one. Note on the left the extrication/battle axe! (road rage/car jacking insurance policy).

ps. Anyone know where I can get a cheap 5 lb'er?

Somewhat unrelated, but where did you get the bright LED strip, and how did you rig it up? Looks awesome!!
