ALWAYS carry a fire extinguisher in your car. In fact, tonight I’m going to buy another one so I have 2 of them incase one fails. Be safe Travis EDIT-my condolences go out to the effected party. I can’t imagine how you feel. Times like this are when communities such as this one can make a difference with sheer #'s of people that care. ---
