Where in a vehicle should a fire extinguisher be placed?
- Next to the battery, in a closed and locked place.
- On the vehicle’s roof, having easy access, to enable quick operation
- Correct answer: In a visible place with easy access to enable quick operation.
- Next to the fuel tank, in a closed and locked place.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: In a visible place with easy access to enable quick operation.
A fire extinguisher must be kept in a visible place with easy access, because in a fire every second counts and you need to grab it and use it immediately. A closed, locked spot next to the fuel tank or battery delays its use, and those are exactly where a fire may start. The roof is not practical to reach in an emergency.
