Car Fire Extinguisher - Better To Be Safe Than Sorry


Every year in the UK, over 100,000 cars which equates to nearly 300 a day go up in flames and around 100 people die as a result. 65% of these fires are started deliberately to cover criminal activity, to make a fraudulent insurance claim or as an act of vandalism. One in 12 reported stolen vehicle will be burnt out.

Many other vehicle fires break out simply due to a lack of basic maintenance and can be prevented.

The financial loss of having a car fire is bad enough and, although insurance may compensate for this, nothing can help with the shock and inconvenience that follow even a small fire.

A little care and forethought can reduce the risk of your car being stolen, and perhaps set on fire. Follow the check list below and every time you leave your car.

Car Fire Extinguisher - Safety Tips

  • Electrical Tips
    Check wiring on a routine basis, watching for signs of wear or damage. Beware of bad connections and brittle insulation. All alterations or additions to the electrical system should be carried out in a competent manner - preferably by qualified mechanics.
  • Filling Up With Petrol
    Routinely check all fuel lines for signs of undue wear and ensure their connections are reliable.
  • Car Welding
    Never use heat, naked flames or welding equipment near the fuel tank or feed pipes. Regularly check both inside and outside of the vehicle whilst welding.
  • Common Sense
    Modern car interiors are largely composed of polymers, plastics and other synthetic materials - all of which are particularly flammable. The smoke and fumes from the outbreak of fire are highly toxic and can be deadly, if inhaled. Simple commonsense and the proper use/disposal of matches and cigarettes will minimise the risk.
  • Be prepared
    Keep a multi-purpose dry powder or foam spray extinguisher conforming to BS EN3 in your car.


buy car fire extinguisherIf a fire in your car does break out.
  • Stop.
  • Switch off engine.
  • Release bonnet - Do Not Open.
  • Get everyone out of the vehicle.
  • Get far away from the vehicle and stay away, keeping onlookers and others away.
  • Dial 999 and call the fire brigade.
  • Warn oncoming traffic, if safe to do so.

If and only if you believe it is safe to do so, attempt to put out the fire with a dry powder or foam extinguisher. If the fire is in the engine compartment, do not open the bonnet but aim the extinguisher through the radiator grille or under the edge of the bonnet. Use with caution and if in doubt, don't attempt to tackle the fire.

Never use water on an engine fire - it can short out wiring and spread burning petrol with disastrous effect.

Don't forget - 35% of car fires are accidental, so you can help yourself by taking the above precautions.
