600g Car Fire Extinguisher
Our 600g car fire extinguisher, filled with ABC powder, is ideal for vehicles, homes, caravans, sheds, or any location where space is at a premium but fire safety is crucial. Despite its compact design, it offers an impressive 5A 21B fire rating and comes equipped with a standard mounting bracket that holds it securely while ensuring it can be swiftly removed in an emergency.
(orders over £25 + vat)
This 600g powder fire extinguisher is CE marked, built to BS 6165:2019 standards, and includes a 5-year warranty for your peace of mind. Unlike most small extinguishers that are only BC rated, ours is effective on Class A fires, giving you more firefighting capability without the extra cost.
To operate your aerosol fire extinguisher, pull out the safety clip from the handle, press the button on top using your thumb, and aim at the base of the fire while holding it upright.
The supplied bracket features wall fixings and an adhesive hook-and-loop fastener, making it easy to install the Vigil Products 600g powder fire extinguisher in the location and manner that best suits your requirements.
Perfect for use in cars, vans, caravans, sheds, garages, and beyond.
Effective against Class A, B, and C fires, as well as those involving live electrical equipment.

The updated British Standard 5306-8:2012 Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers – Code of Practice states as follows:
"5.4.3 Use of powder extinguishers: The discharge of a powder extinguisher within buildings can cause a sudden reduction of visibility and can also impair breathing, which could temporarily jeopardize escape, rescue or other emergency action. For this reason, powder extinguishers should generally not be specified for use indoors, unless mitigated by a health and safety risk assessment."
Additionally, when looking to comply with Part 8 of the ADR regulations, ensure you meet the minimum dry powder fire extinguisher provision to suit the size of your vehicle.
If you are not sure what this means, please contact us any time or see our Fire Safety Survey service. Responsible extinguisher service technicians (including ours) may refuse to certify a powder extinguisher that is not suitable for the location.
