Default Re: Fire Extinguisher

Years ago I had my Corvair parked over some tall dry grass and the hot exhaust started the grass on fire. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed the fire extinguisher. I emptied it, and it didn't even put out the 4 foot by 4 foot patch of grass on fire. I then gabbed a broom and finished the job. What I sould have done is just jump in the car and drive it forward out of the grass fire. I've put out some grass fires with very little water. A 2 litter bottle with a 1/8" hole drilled in the cap can be aimed quite easily at the base of the flame and works very well for me.
