Good thing I have a real fire extinguisher in my car!

I have an old type extinguisher with a mounting bracket on the shelf for the car. Don't have it in the car though because it's more or less for looks. I carry this larger new one from a company that supplies industrial and commercial businesses with extinguishers. So........it will work on any type of fire. It has a bracket for mounting too. Have not done so yet though.
