Fire Extinguisher Mounting Location

[bgenlvtex]

Having had a half burnt vehicle repaired once, I'm going to mount it on the wall of my garage ensuring that I don't have to physically assault anyone to keep them from using it.

I'll dial the FD immediately after the tires blow out and the fiberglass roof is completely consumed.

Bump any new mounts out ?

Figuring out where/how to mount these:

Somewhere in the bed, just not anxious to put holes just anywhere.

These are easy to mount, take up no space, and have 5x the discharge time of traditional extinguishers:

I like the interior Molle Panels from JCR Offroad.

Man been trying to get these here in Dubai for 2 months now! Great option for sure...

I could be way off base here but, in my opinion, those Elements look worthless. At least, as a primary extinguisher. Sure, they may have 5x the discharge *time* of a 5lb extinguisher...but what about coverage? And control?

In the two vehicle fires that I've put out with my 2.5lb in-cab extinguisher (one mini van engine bay, and one 18 wheeler wheel/axle) those Elements would have been useless. They don't appear to be able to put out the volume necessary to coat a fire, and, if they...blow their load, if you will, in the first 50 seconds, but the fire resurfaces multiple times (as both of my occurrences did) you'd be having a bad day.

I think those would be very handy situationally, but I would absolutely not trust one of them to save the day.

EDIT: As far as mounting, once I refill my extinguisher (I haven't topped it off yet from the 18 wheeler fire), I plan on mounting it on the front side of the front passenger seat, on my Bracketeer, as I've done on my last two rigs. No sense having an extinguisher if you can't access it in cab. A sole truck bed mount or a sole rear roll bar mount won't do you any good if you're immobilized in the seat in a rollover and your cab is catching fire.

You make sense...I'm planning on carrying 1 each of the normal fire extinguisher and 1 element in each of the cab and the bed area...so 4 in total...

Seeing this video of the fire stick in action, didn't exactly build on my confidence of it. It worked and eventually put the fire out, but the guy almost had his hand in the fire.

These are great for keeping around camp in case embers get loose because they don't leave residue or anything behind but I'd never trust them for anything that has a real fuel source.

My setup was all purchased through Quadratech... accessible but not intrusive.
