Show Me Your In Cabin Fire Extinguishers Please!, Stuck! Looking For Some Creative Ideas Options

[Lucky9146]

Ok, I got this cool center pull hand break (not my idea) but I sure like it there.
Now with that said, I have some real estate limitations shall we say.
I'd sure appreciate seeing what you guys have done, type, and the size you have selected etc.
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

The location of mine is already represented here, so I will add some useful and embarrassing advice...

If you choose to locate it in the rear trunk, you can potentially save a fortune by remembering that "cars only blow up on TV." That's what the fireman told me.

in 2009 my 914 was on fire. Turns out it was a battery fire. If I had popped open the engine lid I could have righted the battery and saved myself a ton of aggravation and money. But the car was on fire and my young son was with me, so we called the FD and stood clear, watching her burn. I had a fire extinguisher in the rear trunk but I was afraid to get that close because I feared some kind of explosion (duh).

Anyway, it burned for about 15 minutes, of course increasing with intensity as time went by, because alas, it became much more than a battery fire. Geez.

When the FD showed up one of the firemen asked me if it was my car. He asked if I could help him open the engine lid. I said sure, but I asked if it was safe to get that close to the car. "Oh sure", he said. "Cars only blow up on TV." Imagine my thoughts knowing the fire extinguisher was in the trunk.

(really not trying to hijack the thread) So back to my advice. If you install it in the rear trunk, just remember that cars only blow up on TV and you should be okie dokey. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Sad sad story and so sorry to hear, you did the right thing with your young son there. No hijack at all and very useful.

I believe most car fires happen in the engine compartment (had my VW engine burn several years ago) so exiting the cabin is the first priority and second working on putting out the fire if possible. I will be following Coondog's lead and locating my purple K in the front trunk. His sage advice that bigger is better makes sense as the small ones just don't have enough stopping power.
