One of the safety tools that must be in the car is a Fire Extinguisher (APAR). This tool can help you extinguish a fire independently, especially if your car catches fire.

To maximize the use of the APAR, you must install it in the car correctly. Incorrect installation will only make the APAR non-functional and may even damage the car.

In this article, we will inform you of several ways to install APAR in the car. The methods we will share are relatively easy to practice. So, you can do it yourself at home. The methods can be noted as follows!

Choose the Type of Powder APAR

The first step is to choose the right type of APAR. There are various types of APAR. Specifically for cars, the powder APAR type is the most suitable to choose. It is considered suitable because this type of APAR can extinguish fires in cars that are commonly caused by liquid substances, such as oil and gasoline. 

The powder APAR itself is a type of APAR made from a combination of two types of chemical powders. Ammonium sulfate and mono ammonium are the two types of powders.

In addition to the type of APAR, the size of the APAR to be used should also be considered. As a suggestion, choose a 1 kg powder APAR. This size of APAR is classified as small and light, making it easy for you to store and carry.

Store the APAR in an Easily Accessible Place

After choosing the type of APAR to use, you can immediately store it in the car. Store the APAR in an easily accessible place. As a suggestion, store the APAR under the driver's seat.

To store it, make sure the APAR is kept in a horizontal position. To prevent the APAR from shaking easily, you can install it with a bracket.

To do this, first install the bracket under the driver's seat. Secure the bracket with screws so that it is firmly attached under the driver's seat. Cover the bracket with thick cloth. The thick cloth will help absorb impacts on the APAR cylinder. Once the thick cloth is installed, you can directly attach the APAR to the bracket. 

Besides under the driver's seat, you can also install the APAR in the car's trunk. In the trunk, you can store the APAR in either a vertical or horizontal position.

If you have a car with a capacity of 7 people, you can place the APAR in several locations. The space between the second and third rows of seats is one suitable place.

Install a Special Sticker Where the APAR is Stored

The last step is to install a special sticker where the APAR is stored. The sticker used is usually in the shape of an inverted triangle and is red. In the center, there is the text “Fire Extinguisher” along with an image of the APAR and an arrow pointing down.

With the presence of this sticker, it will be easier for you to find the location of the APAR. The installation of the special sticker has been regulated by the government starting this year. Not only for private cars, the installation of special APAR stickers also applies to public and commercial vehicles.

The presence of the APAR in the car is very important. This tool can help you extinguish a fire when the car catches fire. Do not make mistakes in its installation if you want to maximize the use of the APAR in the car.

You can use the methods we have shared. We hope the various methods we have provided can be practiced by you.
