On the Internet, there are a huge number of horror stories about how domestic police officers fine motorists for improper location of a fire extinguisher in a car. In most cases, these stories have nothing to do with reality. Nevertheless, it will be useful to figure out where "this your" fire extinguisher should be located according to all the rules and concepts.
It's worth starting with the most important thing - in principle, there should be a fire extinguisher in the car. If it is there (and no matter where) it is already good in itself. The second no less important point is that the fire extinguisher must be in good working order. In order to be sure of the performance of this item, it is necessary to monitor the indicated expiration date. A faulty fire extinguisher will be of no use. And sometimes there may even be harm. When the first and second points are observed to mark "excellent", you can go to the storage location.
So, the bottom line is that there is no strictly declared place for storing a fire extinguisher in a car. However, there are several simple and effective recommendations that should be followed so as not to complicate your life in the most unnecessary way. So, most often a place for mounting a fire extinguisher is provided in advance in the car. In most cases, it is located in the trunk of a car.
It is important to understand that a fire extinguisher is one of the essentials, and therefore it must be in such a place to get to in the event of an emergency labor. Therefore, when placing a fire extinguisher in the trunk, you should make sure that it is not covered (blocked) by foreign things. It is best if this security tool is fixed on a special holder.

Separately, it should be noted that it is strongly not recommended to put a fire extinguisher in the interior of the car under your feet (including under the seat). You should not do this, even if the already mentioned holder is installed there. This is because this location of the fire extinguisher is unsafe. For both the driver and passengers. In the event of an accident, there is a serious risk that the fire extinguisher will break off and "fly", thus injuring the driver's legs.
