Hi y'all, would like ideas where to secure a mini extinguisher inside the vehicle.
Thanks

Somewhere you think it would be easy to grab as you LEAVE the car.... :alan2cents:

I used velcro to stick mine to the carpet on the floorboard behind the driver's seat. I comes loose occasionally and I have to push it back down.

The most common place I've seen, is attached to the right kick panel. Mounted vertically it doesn't really impede foot room and it's easy to get at. There's lots of kick panels out there with holes made for speakers, so if yours are cherry, chase one of those down. Just my  :alan2cents:

Thanks for the suggestion @dodj .   I hadn't known about these fire extinguishers beforehand. Pretty slick. I'm going to order one.

For those that are interested, here's a link to see one demonstrated during an episode of Jay Leno's Garage:

Interesting, looks like they've been around for a few years (2019 was oldest video I saw). I'll probably pick one up to keep in car, but in addition to my HalGuard extinguisher. It seemed to take a bit longer and some waving around to put out the grease fire in one of the videos, and I saw none on a gasoline fire. But I sure like the size!

Like the velcro idea. My car mat is on velcro on driver side.
It slides around on the vinyl part, did heavy duty velcro. Works great.

Also a great idea. Thanks, have two options now.  :perfect10:
