Accommodation of the device in the vehicle
Make sure that the fire extinguisher is located in the vehicle in an easily accessible place and preferably fixed on its holder (for smaller extinguishers). When an open flame appears, every second and timely reaction is important, so that the damage to the vehicle is minimized.
Fire extinguisher service
Also take care of the date of purchase of the fire extinguisher or the last inspection, as it is a legal obligation to service the fire extinguisher once a year. If you exceed the date of the last inspection, you risk that after some time the device is not fully functional (loses pressure, mechanical damage) or a penalty from the traffic police, which regularly checks the service label with the date of the last inspection.
We hope that we have briefly explained and facilitated the selection of a fire extinguisher for your vehicle, and for any additional questions, our sales officers are at your disposal.
