I routinely fit a fire extinguisher to my car(s).
Vroegâh mounted the gree argon gas ones but when those for some reason were banned had to switch to the ubiquitous red ones with powder.
They are rather unsatisfactory because the 1 kg ones last only 10 second and leave a méss.

Found an alternative; a potasium based one that lasts 50 seconds for a 250 gram tube and leaves no residu:

They are also availeble in 25 seconds and 100 seconds tubes:

This extinguisher type was developed for use in the sovjet space modules. Kind of cool; rocket science in the car  8)
Oh and wáy lighter  O:-)
