    So this morning on my way to work there was a solo vehicle accident in front of me. I pulled over and the driver was unconscious and the engine was aflame. Several other cars stopped and we were fortunately able to extract the driver before the fire spread to the entire car, but it got me thinking maybe I should get a fire extinguisher for the truck.

    Wondering if anyone has input on good locations to mount in the 2016 truck and/or decent extinguishers for vehicle fires. Thanks

    Fire extinguishers are handy! I had a car leaking coolant onto the head and it caught fire. Good thing I had one.

    I keep mine on driver side of tool box. Easiest access in a hurry as I have kids in the backseat most of the time.
