First Alert AUTO5 5-B:C Auto Fire Extinguisher

Product Description

The FIRST ALERT AUTO5 is a 5-B:C rated dry chemical fire extinguisher designed for automotive and light vehicle applications. It uses a sodium bicarbonate dry chemical agent to suppress Class B and Class C fires, including those involving gasoline, kerosene, oil, grease, and energized electrical equipment. The rust-proof aluminum cylinder keeps the unit lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it well-suited to under-hood or in-cab storage. A push-button pressure gauge allows a quick visual check of charge status without tools. The included mounting bracket features a protective hood to secure the extinguisher in place during vehicle operation.

The AUTO5 is intended for use in personal vehicles, light trucks, fleet vehicles, and small equipment where a compact, accessible extinguisher is required. It is a practical fit for service vans, work trucks, and trailers used by HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade professionals who carry fuel, solvents, or other flammable materials on the job. Installation requires only the included bracket and basic hand tools.
