What is your fire suppression strategy

[FEZMAN]

I'm an attention whore.. so I made two YouTube videos of my fire extinguisher install.
and before anyone says anything;
If you steal a fire extinguisher I hope you burn to death in a fire that I could have put out with that extinguisher.
I'm mean that way.

Element 100 (run time in seconds) extinguisher under the driver’s seat and a Garmin inReach SOS communicator that I keep on my person (when off-highway).

I use a H3R HalGuard PRO 2.5 pound extinguisher on the drivers side mounted with the fire extinguisher bracket kit from Agile. An Element 50 on the passenger side. Have another Element 50 in the back, but haven't decided on the mounting place yet.

@Tall_Tim I'm going to have to upgrade to the HalGuard, Halon seems the way to go (hopefully never needed).

I'm just not a fan of compressed gas cylinders inside the cab of a vehicle. I was trying to find a few pictures of the aftermath for cars when they let go. It is not pretty.
I like the idea of the Element sticks and I know they work but have a hard time getting my head around it.

Years ago I had a small fire extinguisher cylinder let go in an old vehicle I had... it was not a pretty sight and basically destroyed the interior. It's hard to trust them again once this happens to you. Went with the Element sticks instead this time.

It gets worse. I have pepper spray in my truck for anyone I don't want to put my hands on. It gives me so much anxiety knowing that I'm a bad day away from pepper spray coating the entire inside.

I carry a lead based sprayer.

I have an Element extinguisher under each front seat and a Halguard extinguisher in the cargo area (quick detach mount, need only open the small door to reach it).

that's one of the things I am not crazy about the center console, it's a little small for a cordless hole puncher.

And then there was the tourist camper who, misunderstanding bear spray, proceeded to coated his entire tent with it as a precaution.

I have a couple of the Element extinguishers mounted in the Grenadier.

Fire access: To fight a fire in the engine compartment the conventional wisdom has been to only ‘crack’ the hood before discharging the extinguisher, this to prevent excess air from ‘fanning the flames’. But, when the Grenadier hood is released to its safety latch (by pulling the handle only once), the vertical “dam” around the edge of the engine compartment will prevent introduction of the extinguisher agent.
