 I was at a small bog yesterday (10-12 trucks) havin a good time just hangin out watchin the show and in the blink of an eye the truck in the pit stops and both occupants bail out yelling fire...   in a matter of seconds 2 extinguishers where on hand and 3 more on the way, this was a fuel fire and stubborn, it took all 5 extinguishers to put it out.
I carry an extinguisher in my DD (this one will be replaced today), the wifes DD and one in the bogger.  They're cheap insurance.

Just a note of thanks to the Moonlight Stompers members that reacted and the club itself for their requirement of an extinguisher in every rig.  Your actions saved a nice rig from total disaster.   applaudd applaudd


No injuries
vehicle damage was contained to the fuel system,wiring in the engine bay and under the dash
and some paint.

I got one in the garage, one in the truck, one in the kitchen and one in the car. I may be paranoid but if I ever have a day I need to use them they will pay for themselves.

I was at a bogg a couple weeks ago and a truck caught fire, no extinguisher in the truck, it burned for a min. or 2 before someone showed with one.........Unsafe for everyone around.......Carry an extinguisher....Safety first
Web Wheelin' for sure

It never even occured to me to carry my extinguisher with me... We have three in the house, and I have sat here many times wondering why the hell do I have so many?! Now I know why, to toss a few in the vehicles!!
