What have you got against Nissan Micras?

I was actually suprised how easy that was to put out. 2 dry powers to knock it down followed up with 2 foams to cool it.

Dry powder is great stuff!
Not sure how it would get to work on the tyres though?

You haven't specified how big each one was though.

9kg, proberbly only used half of each bottle though

Not if you get caught in the dust clould. Most effective laxative known to mankind so I've been told.

Oooof!

When we did our training on a pan full of petrol the wind was blowing across the car park - it's a bugger to wash off!

The CO2 one's are great fun, but I wasn't expecting the noise at the end.

If anyone hasn't been on fire training at work I'd highly recommend it. Do you really know how to use a fire extinguisher? I didn't, and thankfully I've never had to, but it's nice to know what to expect when you press the plunger, how hard you have to press, where to point it, etc.

Really, it's worth getting some training.

i bought one from halfords for the car... has a bracket.


thing is i want it ideally within reach rather than in the boot. but its too heavy for velcro .. and if it starts flying around under heavy braking or impact its going to do some damage.

a thought. the arm rest you can get for leons. can it be locked upright? bolting to that rather than the passenger footwell?

I ordered two 2L foam car extinguishers and a 9KG power home extinguisher from here.
