A hand-held car fire extinguisher is an indispensable piece a safety equipment for high-performance vehicles. Having an extinguisher within arms reach of the driver allows them to respond quickly and keep small fires from turning into big ones. Many racing sanctioning bodies require them, and they’re also ideal for off-road vehicles, race trailers, garages, work vehicles, and more.

Fire Extinguisher Classes

There are four classes of fire extinguishers, and each is formulated to put out different types of fires:

Class A: ordinary combustibles like wood and paper
Class B: flammable liquids like grease, gasoline, and oil

There are four classes of fire extinguishers, and each is formulated to put out different types of fires:

Class A: ordinary combustibles like wood and paper
Class B: flammable liquids like grease, gasoline, and oil
Class C: electrical fires
Class D: flammable metals

We recommend a multi-class extinguisher, at least B-C, for automotive applications. A large extinguisher can hold more material, but a small one is easier to handle—choose one that matches your fitness level. For more information, check out this article on our blog.
