How many of you guys carry a Fire Extinguisher in either your trailer or truck throughout the day?

I carry one in the truck, really need to get 1-2 more, cheap insurance to keep fire from destroying your livelyhood. Even if you are insured look at the loss of revenue while trying to round up new equipment. Grass doesnt wait for accidents or breakdowns

oh, I forgot about the one IN the truck. If a fire broke out, I doubt my helpers could figure out how to get them off the wall, much less use them.....

Wow, I never even thought of that.
Thanks to the OP. It just ran through my head how mad I'd be if something burnt to the ground and it could have been preventable.
I'm going to buy two tomorrow. One on the trailer and one in the truck.

Got stopped for not having it mounted? On the truck? I was gonna carry one with me, but I'm not sure if you're talking about their shop or truck.

If your truck/trailer combo is above 10,000# DOT mandates a mounted fire extinguisher within reach from the drivers seat.
