Fire Extinguisher

[Gonfercoffee]

You see a truck on shoulder with a wheel on fire
you stop
get your fire extinguisher .....but wait
If you use it
Now you don't have one
How will you explain if you get stopped
also
You are probably out 20 bucks for a new one
What to do?

i carry two one small one for the fires in the microwave and one large one for the big roaring tire fire.my self id stop and help put it out and at the next truck stop pick up another.20 bucks for a extinguisher is money well spent to help out a fellow driver.i know if it was me i wouldn't want to watch my truck burn.

What's a Tire fire?
Doesn't such occur sometimes in Dumps?
I've seen Brakes on fire but not Tires.
I've driven lots of Trucks and never used the Fire Extinguishers except as a wedge on the accelerator to keep the engines idling (on the trucks that had/have the 5 minute idle).

Can someone please explain the above answer?

It's simply unknowing or uncaring that you have a flat....
It's still seen alot with container haulers, lots of the company trailers still run tube tire split rims.

When you know what your looking at, it is easy to tell whether the brakes (leaking seals) or the tires go up in flames first.
